A Kentucky court is postponing pro golfer Scottie Scheffler's appearance on charges he injured a police officer and disobeyed commands during the PGA Championship. Scheffler was handcuffed and taken to jail outside the Valhalla Golf Club on Friday. He was due in court Tuesday, two days after finishing in the top ten. Now a judge is postponing the court date until June 3. Scheffler faces four charges, including felony assault over injuries a Louisville police officer suffered. Scheffler's attorney, Steve Romines, says the situation is a misunderstanding and the golfer never disobeyed any officer's orders.

Xander Schauffele made one putt that turned out to mean so much. His 6-foot birdie on the final hole gave him a one-shot victory over Bryson DeChambeau in the PGA Championship. He quieted whispers about whether he could close. He showed he could stand up to the best of them after having lost to Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy in two previous chances. Schauffele doesn't even remember the way the winning putt swirled into the cup. He's now the No. 2 player in the world. And he doesn't have to answer questions whether he can win. This was the big one.

Collin Morikawa's lone mistake in the PGA Championship's final round came late, and his title prospects were pretty much done by then. After starting Sunday's final round tied with Xander Schauffele for the lead at 15-under, Morikawa could only muster a string of pars as other contenders posted birdies and lower scores at Valhalla Golf Club. He finally birdied 18 to finish at even par 71 and tie for fourth with Thomas Detry. It was his second consecutive top-four finish in a major after tying for third at the Masters.

Collin Morikawa went to sleep with a share of the lead at the PGA Championship. He's well-aware that by the time he reaches the first tee box for the final round, he might not have it anymore. A low-scoring third round left a record 15 players at double-digits under par and within five shots of Morikawa and Xander Schauffele heading into the finale at Valhalla Golf Club, which has mostly been soft, still and defenseless all week. Among the many with a chance to overtake Morikawa before he hits his first shot are Sahith Theegala, who is one shot out of the lead. Shane Lowry, who shot 62, will start the day two shots behind.
