2024 PGA Championship

Being fluent in lawyer speak, his lawyer is putting the best face on it, but it's apparent he's talking about pre-tournament instructions, not instructions on the scene from an officer. It doesn't sound like he got contradictory instructions actually on the scene. Regardless of what you were told in pre-tournament briefings, you need to follow the directions of an officer working an accident.

But it was facts

When the cops are dressed like the security detail that he's seen all week, it's 5 am, dark and raining.

Yeah, let's fry Scottie.

[Thin Red Swine]

But it was facts

His lawyer is damn sure closer to the facts than the Woopig judges and jury here. 

[The Whyte Boar]

Confirmed that the cop WAS NOT part of the traffic detail.

So the cop didn't know what was going on and tried to act like Billy Bob Badass and showed his ass.

[Borenutz]

Shouldn't have even made news or escalated except for a few incompetent people. Where is their chief of police to incite reason into this scenario?

If I were to bet, this will be squashed and charges dismissed but the blue to like to protect their own in these situations, which I get.

There's probably some judgement to be passed around both all parties. Why is cop attaching himself to the vehicle here? Should Scottie have been more patient and aware, sure, but are traffic cops unclear sometimes and did weather and light conditions play a part, sure. Should cop had realized the big picture here, noticed he was driving a PGA branded vehicle, probably so, IMO.

Whole scenario smells very Fayetteville copish/ Billy bad ass cop type of deal.

Max should have been pulling him to the side and questioning and citing him a misdemeanor if they still felt necessary.

Big reason why a lot of folks disrespect and don't like the blue is situations like this.

[The Whyte Boar]

Pretty definitive here.  No need to parse for "lawyer speak".  The lawyer says, "The charges will be dismissed or we will go to trial.  Scottie didn't do anything wrong."

He was directed to move around traffic by one officer who saw his curtesy car and credentials until he ran into Officer Waingro who had to get it on. 

And he DID NOT drive through any accident scene.  That was nowhere near where this occurred. 

Typical cop bullshit with the dramatically enhanced officer's report except this time they literally got the one guy who everyone believes is in the right.  It is the equivalent to arresting Patrick Mahomes as he is turning into the parking lot at the Superbowl. 

[HOGSRUNWILD]

This just seems like a celebrity was using his privilege and I guess the police didn't like it. 
Now he can pretend to have a story to buff his street cred. 

And, once again, Cerdo tries to come off edgy but just ends up looking like a fucking retard.

If this is how it went down (it's still hearsay because the lawyer was not there and did not witness it), but if that's how it went down, then I retract my comments above and acknowledge that my narrative was Fake News.

The reporter who witnessed it from the start said that's the way it went down.  And it isn't hearsay regardless to say he didn't drive through an accident scene.  That was another mile down the road from where he was turning in.

Officer Waingro had to get it on.

Literally the dumbest motherfuckers earth.  It's the PGA championship.  He is rhe number one golfer on earth.  He is the reason there is a tournament, he is the reason for the traffic, he is the reason for whole damned thing.  The cop should have identified him, told him to pay attention and that he was sorry for the mixup and sent him on his way.  It's like the cops directing traffic at Razorback Stadium arresting the Razorback bus drive and potentially making the whole team late because they felt he ignored their directions.

And for the record, Scheffler was asked about exactly that. 

His response...

"No, at no point did I try to name-drop myself to defuse the situation," Scheffler said. "I just tried to remain as calm as possible and follow instructions."

[The Whyte Boar]

I couldn't figure our why that ESPN reporter didn't say, "Hey, do you know who you are arresting?"

He started to try to intervene, but then SuperCop whirled on him and the guy realized he better not FAAFO either.

[The Whyte Boar]

Looks like it caught up with him today.  He is +4 through four.

Classic come down after your adrenal glands shot their wad the day before. Can't recover from that.

(In my best Nate Bargatze voice) His lawyer probably looked into it more than you did.

[The Whyte Boar]

Yeah, I agree.

[Thin Red Swine]

He's far from done, birdied two of the last three.

I bet he still gets in under 70.

[DrMongoose]

man, I can't imagine having to settle for a tap in to shoot 62 in a major.

[Hizog]

man, I can't imagine having to settle for a tap in to shoot 62 in a major.

I haven't done it in a major, but ai did make an 8 foot right to lefter for 62.


The back 9 was worse though. 

[Thin Red Swine]

So I was wrong. Scheffler is human.

This is set up for a glorious and furious battle to the finish. Fitting for a horse racing town.
