From the article: "You need to get out of the way," the officer told Darlington. "There's nothing you can do. Scottie Scheffler is going to jail."

Yikes

Edit: the article has been edited to replace Scottie’s name with “he”. I’m leaving this up as this is how the article was originally written.

He didn’t say Scottie Scheffler. He said “he’s going to jail.”

The context in the way you said it made it seem like the cop knew he was the #1 golfer in the world and was arresting him.

Ah. To be fair, there is no edit note in the article.
