Scottie Scheffler praises police for being 'our protectors,’ describes interactions with them while in custody

Scottie Scheffler was in unfamiliar territory early Friday morning, as he was arrested en route to the PGA Championship at Valhalla.

The ordeal had Scheffler feeling "pretty rattled, to say the least," and he admitted it took him a "few holes" to feel somewhat normal again.

But in a somewhat ironic twist (he is facing a felony charge of second-degree assault on a police officer), the officers who were involved in placing Scheffler in custody wound up playing a role in calming him down.
