this is get up on ESPN I’m Mike Greenberg in New York we have a full program today with all that you would expect including game six and seven in the NBA all the hockey highlights that you would look for and more on the NFL schedule release but we begin with breaking news from the PJ championship in Louisville at Valhalla Golf Club where the second round of play has been delayed it was due to start about 45 minutes ago at 7:15 eastern time this morning play has been pushed back after a deadly accident involving a shuttle bus and a pedestrian outside a Valhalla Golf Club that caused massive traffic delays which in a separate incident involved the number one golfer in the world Scotty sheffler was detained by police this morning in handcuffs on his way to the golf course he shot four under 67 yesterday and was right in the mix after winning the Masters just a few weeks ago now his status for today and the rest of the weekend is to say the least very much uncertain as it happens our Jeff Darlington who was at Valhalla covering for us was there and witnessed the entire incident that took place involving sheffler and law enforcement Jeff your coverage this morning has been extraordinary but so many people joining us here now at the top of an hour take us through everything that you saw right from the beginning well greeny as you could see in some of that footage it was a very chaotic situation this morning already outside of Valhalla Golf Club as police were responding to a separate incident down the road it resulted in road closures and ultimately was only a situation where uh officials and players could get to the point where they could even approach the Valhalla entrance but what happened next was certainly surreal there was a bus that did not have a driver in it that was still sitting outside of the main gate of Valhalla Golf Club police were trying to figure out how to get that bus moved Scotty Sheffer was in a vehicle two behind that bus Sheffer attempted to drive his car on a road that was jammed with vehicles onto the side medium uh plenty of space on that Medium where Sheffer could move his car around toward the entrance a police officer in a yellow jacket like those ones you’re seeing there approached sheffer’s car told him to stop Sheffer continued to drive his vehicle at which point the officer attached himself to sheffer’s car sheffer’s vehicle then drove another 15 to 20 yards making the left into Valhalla Golf Club before coming to a stop at that point the officer took his flashlight and start to bang on sheffer’s car telling him to open the window or open the door to get out of the vehicle sheffler lowered the window the officer then ripped the door open pulled sheffler out by the arm pushed him up against the vehicle placed him in handcuffs at that point I approached Scotty Sheffer and the officers Sheffer turned to me and said can you help me uh the officers then confronted me told me to step step back I informed them that I was a member of the media at which point one officer told me there’s nothing you can do he’s going to jail another officer then approached me shortly after with a pad in his hand and said to me could you please tell us the name of the person that we arrested so did not seem to know that it was Scotty Sheffer the number one golfer in the world for whatever that’s worth and however that factors into all Scotty Sheffer greeny they also when they Place him in the back of that vehicle uh they put him in handcuffs they then uh at one point removed the handcuffs at which point it felt like the situation was becoming diffused they allowed him to adjust his wrists before then placing the handcuffs back on him Sheffer attempted to get the attention of the officer who did put him in the handcuffs originally and pulled him from the vehicle to tell him that he did not know he was a police officer uh the police officer did not respond to shuff’s attempts to explain himself in the situation I should explain much of the video that you were seeing here was actually shot by Jeff on his phone and we have a portion of it that will give you a pretty good sense of what happened including you’ll be able to hear Jeff’s voice and some others pretty clearly and that might give you an even better picture of exactly what took place this morning so Cindy when we can let’s play that guys guys guys dude uhuh step back back up I’m back G one right guys what do we I’m staying back here’s the thing right now right now he’s going to jail okay okay he’s going to jail and it ain’t nothing you can do about it period there’s there’s nothing you can do about it okay I okay now you do you have a question I’m I’m media I’m a reporter Okay so that’s all I’m just I just want to make sure that’s okay but you need to step back over here now problem you got it okay okay all right so that’s a little bit of a sense of what it is we are receiving a report right now the PGA informs us that as of this moment Scotty sheffler remains in custody his tea time like everyone else’s has been pushed back a little bit over an hour an hour and 20 minutes he was due to tea off this morning at 8:48 eastern time which would some quick math would tell me that 10:08 a.m. eastern time would now be the time that he and his group of three would be scheduled to be on the first te we have no way of knowing now whether or not he’ll be able to play there Jeff what else can you tell us there what are we missing here for the folks who are watching at home what a surreal morning greeny uh I mean I can simply tell you that what felt like U certainly a chaotic entrance to Valhalla Golf Club uh was something even more chaotic once sheffler was placed in handcuffs the one thing I I can’t emphasize enough here is it was already a very stressful scene outside of Valhalla Golf Club all of these police cars that you’re seeing were already there they have nothing to do with Sheffer uh they were result of another incident that was down the road that occurred and caused police to shut down this road many of the police officers were dare I say on edge they were simply um you could tell that that it was a stressful morning you could feel that in the air based on traffic flow at a big golf event like this but this was hours before anybody was scheduled to tee off Sheffer arriving to the course very early to begin [Music]
