Welcome to GOLF.com\u2019s \u201cSeen & Heard<\/a>\u201d video series, in which we give you an inside look at golf\u2019s biggest events through the eyes and ears of our onsite crew. On deck this week: the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. Let\u2019s go!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the excitement of Thursday’s record-low scoring<\/a> at Valhalla, one might wonder whether we had already witnessed the peak drama of this year’s PGA Championship. Then, Friday dawned. And oh my<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like everyone else, the GOLF team was blindsided by the news of Scottie Scheffler’s arrest<\/a> on Friday morning. The team scrolled their phones for updates, surreally landing on Scheffler’s mugshot, complete with an orange jumpsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n

Scottie Scheffler has 4 charges against him. So what now? His attorney explains<\/a><\/blockquote>\n By:<\/span>\n \n \n Josh Sens <\/a>\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

What happened?<\/a><\/em> Would Scheffler have to withdraw, or was it possible he could still make his tee time?<\/em> It was a chaotic morning, with more questions than answers. Above all, there was deep sorrow for the PGA Championship vendor, John Mills, who lost his life early that morning in a tragic accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traffic getting into Valhalla was bad enough that some players ended up walking<\/a> more than a mile to get on property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, Scheffler made it back in time for his tee time \u2014 and incredibly, fired a round of 66 to keep himself in contention<\/a>, three shots behind leader Xander Schauffele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After his round, Scheffler spoke to the media about his morning, detailing how he spent his brief time in jail<\/a>, and how shaken the experience had left him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I definitely never imagined ever going to jail, and I definitely never imagined going to jail the morning before one of my tee times,” Scheffler said.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tour Confidential: Unpacking a bizarre Friday at the PGA Championship<\/a><\/blockquote>\n By:<\/span>\n \n \n GOLF Editors <\/a>\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Once Scheffler’s round was complete, there was still plenty of time for additional storylines. Viktor Hovland impressed with a round of 66 to climb within four shots of the lead, while Schauffele hung in with a 68 to maintain his slim advantage over Collin Morikawa, who’s currently in solo second at 11 under par after a second-round 65. Tiger Woods, at seven over through 36 holes, unfortunately, will not be around for the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another player firmly in the mix after a solid round late on Friday? Bryson DeChambeau, whose 65 has him three shots behind the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is the story with Valhalla, right?” said GOLF’s James Colgan. “Not all that interesting a golf course, but it delivers a serious leaderboard every time. And look at where we are Friday evening.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
