A man was hit by a shuttle bus and killed on a road near a golf course at 5 a.m. local time on Thursday, ahead of the second round of the PGA Championship. The PGA said the dead man was an employee of a tournament supplier.

Fans shouting “Free Scottie” or cheering in T-shirts printed with Scheffler’s mugshot appeared at the venue to cheer him up.
After the game, Scheffler said, “First of all, I would like to express my condolences to Mills’ family,” adding, “It was a confusing situation, and there was a big misunderstanding. I can’t elaborate, but my situation will be dealt with.”
“I spent time stretching in the detention center. I thought I would have a chance to come out and play, so I sat down and started warming up,” he said. “I tried to start a routine and lower my heart rate as much as possible, but I still feel like my head is spinning. I was lucky to be able to come back and play.”
Scheffler added, “I was shaking with shock and fear. It was definitely difficult to come here and play, but I did my best to control my mind and control my breathing.”
Scheffler is aiming for his second consecutive victory in major tournaments and his fifth win in the season following last month’s Masters.
