Scottie Scheffler tees off for PGA Championship's 2nd round after arrest

'Fox & Friends First' co-host Todd Piro provides details after Scheffler reportedly drove around a police barricade in an apparent misunderstanding outside Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky.

Scottie Scheffler teed off from the 10th hole in the second round of the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Course in Kentucky just hours after he was arrested.

As his name was announced, and he stepped toward the tee box, Scheffler received a raucous round of applause. He would go on to birdie.

Scheffler got back to the course less than an hour before his tee time. He was tied for 12th at the start of the second round and released a statement. His first stroke hit just off the fairway.

"This morning, I was proceeding as directed by police officers. It was a very chaotic situation, understandably so considering the tragic accident that had occurred earlier, and there was a big misunderstanding of what I thought I was being asked to do," he said. "I never intended to disregard any of the instructions. I’m hopeful to put this to the side and focus on golf today.

"Of course, all of us involved in the tournament express our deepest sympathies to the family of the man who passed away in the earlier accident this morning. It truly puts everything in perspective."

He was with Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman.

"Just a wild morning, man," Harman told ESPN’s Marty Smith.

ESPN reported that Scheffler drove past a police officer in his SUV with markings on the door indicating it was a PGA Championship vehicle.
