The golden boy of the golf world is facing felony charges.

Scottie Scheffler’s rough morning was broadcast for the world to see.

Police arrested Scheffler at the scene of a deadly crash in Louisville, which was on the route to the PGA golf course.

He wasn’t involved in the crash, but police say he disobeyed orders to stop his car and accelerated forward, dragging an officer to the ground.

However, Scheffler said this was all just a chaotic misunderstanding.

He was released from jail within a few hours and still played in the tournament. He actually played better than he did on Thursday.

We asked Scot Goldberg about this situation. He is the managing attorney at Goldberg Noone Abraham in Fort Myers.

He said that none of us would get out of jail within three hours.

Goldberg told us that, at a minimum, we’d spend the night in jail before having our first appearance and getting bail.

Watch above for the full story.
