ESPN had footage of Scheffler handcuffed and walking towards a police car in the morning darkness, with traffic shut down for about a mile in both directions.

Police said a pedestrian was trying to cross the road when struck by a bus in a lane dedicated to vehicles entering the club.

They said the man died at the scene.

ESPN said Scheffler, who has a morning tee time, drove past a police officer and the officer went after his car screaming at him. Once stopped, the world's top-ranked male golfer was put in handcuffs and is now reportedly off to jail.

The second round of the PGA Championship already was delayed by at least an hour because of rain.

One Louisville police officer said the traffic was because of the pedestrian being hit just outside the main entrance to the club.
