The Kentucky police officer who arrested top-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler outside the PGA Championship is receiving “corrective action” for failing to have his body-worn camera activated when he approached the golfer's vehicle — an interaction that police said resulted in the officer being dragged to the ground, authorities said Thursday. Louisville officials said during a news conference that they do not have video footage of the initial interaction Friday morning between Scheffler and Louisville Detective Bryan Gillis outside the gates of Valhalla Golf Club as the venue hosted the major. The golfer was arrested on charges that he injured Gillis and disobeyed commands, but Scheffler said “he never intended to disregard any of the instructions,” and the incident was caused by a misunderstanding.
