The second round of the PGA Championship was delayed Friday due to a fatal accident near Valhalla Golf Club.
A pedestrian was reportedly hit and killed by a shuttle bus outside the golf course, according to reports.
ESPN claims an unidentified man was attempting to cross Shelbyville Road at roughly 5am when he was struck in a dedicated lane for buses, before he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Play is due to begin at 8:35am ET/1:35pm BST, one hour and 20 minutes later than scheduled, with all spectator gates opening at 8am over in Kentucky.
In a turbulent start to day two at Valhalla, World No 1 Scottie Scheffler was also detained in handcuffs by police outside the club after a bizarre misunderstanding on Friday morning.
In remarkable footage, which has gone viral on social media, Scheffler was seen being led into a police car after trying to enter Valhalla before his second round at the PGA Championship.
With police and first responders still at the scene of the fatal accident, the entrances to the club were blocked by a traffic cordon and dozens of cop cars, before Scheffler tried to navigate his way around them to make his way in.
The 27-year-old, who became a dad for the first time earlier this month, had no involvement in the accident but soon found himself on the wrong side of law enforcement when officers reportedly asked him to stop his vehicle.
When he continued to drive for another 10-20 yards, a police officer desperately attempted to attach himself to Scheffler’s vehicle before he pulled over and stopped as he turned into the entrance of Valhalla.
As the golfer was then led away, ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington – who filmed the incident – attempted to get the attention of officers. He was warned: ‘Back up or you’re going to jail also!’
‘Right now, he’s going to jail,’ another officer said. ‘He’s going to jail and there’s nothing you can do about it. Period.’
‘Can you please help me?’ a panicked Scheffler could be heard asking in the stunning clip as he was taken away in handcuffs.
