Video Transcript

We are in the middle of a PGA championship Friday morning.

Unlike pretty much anything we've ever seen to recap, here's what we've got going on.

First of all, Scotty Scheffer world number one detained by police, taken away in handcuffs following an incident with a police officer when he was trying to enter Valhalla Golf Club.

Now why was he having so much trouble?

Because there was a traffic accident that involved a pedestrian fatality earlier in the morning that snarled traffic all the way through around the Valhalla area.

And why was there a traffic accident?

Well, likely because of the rain that's been falling in Louisville since very early this morning and continues to fall now, tee times have been delayed an hour and 20 minutes.

It's likely they're going to be delayed even more later on today.

We'll find out more as soon as we know it here from Louisville
