Scottie Scheffler detained by police at Valhalla - report

Scottie Scheffler has reportedly been detained by police after a misunderstanding as the world No 1 golfer tried to drive past a police officer into Valhalla Golf Club.

ESPN report that when Scheffler attempted to make his way to the course for the second round of the US PGA Championship, the officer attached himself to the American's car, told him to get out of the vehicle and then placed him in handcuffs.

The start of play in the second round has been delayed following a fatal traffic accident near Valhalla.

The Scheffler incident is not in any way connected to the accident.

A pedestrian died after being struck by a shuttle bus early on Friday morning, according to a statement from Louisville Metro Police Department.

"About 5:00 this morning, the LMPD responded to a call of a vehicle collision involving a pedestrian and a bus," the statement read.

"Our preliminary investigation found that an adult male pedestrian was crossing Shelbyville Road south to north when he was struck by a shuttle bus that was travelling eastbound in the compulsory center lane dedicated for buses.

"As a result, the pedestrian received fatal injuries and was pronounced dead on the scene. The LMPD Traffic Unit is investigating."
