MANILA, Philippines — Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler shook off a morning arrest Friday to fire a five-under par 66 and keep himself in the hunt at the darkness-halted PGA Championship, trailing leader Xander Schauffele by three strokes.
Schauffele matched the low round in major history with a 62 Thursday and shot 68 Friday to stand on 12-under 130 for 36 holes, and a one-stroke edge over two-time major winner Collin Morikawa, who shot 65.
Scheffler was in a fourth-place pack on 133. Police handcuffed Scheffler before arresting him on charges of assault of a police officer, criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from an officer directing traffic around an accident at the entrance to the course. He was in jail two hours before the start of the round.
