Austin Eckroat, other PGA Tour pros react to Scottie Scheffler’s arrest at PGA Championship

“It was a tragedy” - Austin Eckroat, other PGA Tour pros react to Scottie Scheffler’s arrest and other ‘weird’ incidents at PGA Championship
It was a “weird morning” on Friday, according to Austin Eckroat. The PGA Tour pro got stuck in traffic about a mile and a half from the Valhalla Golf Club while on his way to the second round of the 2024 PGA Championship. However, the traffic didn’t stop him. The 25-year-old got out of his car and walked the distance to the course.
It's pertinent to note that the traffic was caused by a shuttle bus accident that led to the death of a PGA Championship vendor. Eckroat addressed the development in his post-round press conference and called it a “tragedy.” Meanwhile, he also took time to comment on Scottie Scheffler’s arrest, unrelated to the accident, and said that it was a “weird incident.”
