All charges against top golfer Scottie Scheffler were dropped on Wednesday after a Kentucky prosecutor said the evidence doesn’t support a case against the world No. 1. Jefferson County Attorney Mike O’Connell told the court that the evidence against Scheffler doesn’t even meet the lower standard of “probable cause.” “Therefore based on the totality of the evidence my office cannot move forward in the prosecution of the charges filed against Mr.
, police said. But Scheffler insists he was following police directions on how to enter the club ahead of that day’s second-round action, and said his arrest was due to miscommunication. So far, there is no known video of any interaction between Scheffler and Gillis with the Louisville police already conceding that the detective did not turn on his body worn camera, in violation of agency policy.
