JK with the steamy fan fiction.

Obviously in to his bears

The BBC has Kobori as Japanese

[JK]

@KiwiPie thats a bit grim!

Hes hanging in there at the moment. Distances look a real challenge but some slightly better scoring holes to come. Just birdied 18 to get back to +1

Gee scheffler started with a 2, holing out from 167 yards!

[JK]

Interesting opening round with Schauffele going super low with a 62 to end at -9, 3 ahead of Finau and Theegala. Rory just one shot behind them then a whole lot at -4 and -3 including a number of big names (Scheffler, Brooks, Bryson, Cam Smith, etc).

The kiwis are battling a bit - Fox +1 and Kobori +2 (got a lot more time TV coverage than I expected). Will need to play very well to make the weekend as anything other than a spectator.

Scheffler at 4/1 is a good punt from there.

Schauffle at 11/4 is good to go against.

Scottie Scheffler: World number one golfer plays major tournament hours after being handcuffed and charged by police

A witness said the star looked stunned as he was led away and put in the back of a police car with one officer saying he was "going to jail".

Initial thoughts this looks like US copy douchbaggery

Haha, the 2nd and 3rd pics

The Cop grabbed the car and was dragged 10 yards. Anyone who does that has questionable judgement

Never been late for a tee time??

[JK]

Good going by Foxy -3 today to make the cut!

Hopefully can improve any more over the next couple of days

[sparky]

Best ever performance by a sportsman who came straight to the arena after being arrested?

Questionable judgement from the cop. Who grabs hold of a moving car? This isn't the movies

ahhh i read that like you were questions scheffler's judgement!

Could have a really decent finish this morning

[JK]

Bryson in the clubhouse at -20, tied with Schauffele who still has a couple to play and surely birdies 18.

Hovland though chased the birdie on 18 too and ended up with a 3 putt bogey. Gross

That surely is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence!

[JK]

Great finish and Schauffele gets his first major with a birdie on the last.

Really didnt expect scoring as low as this.

Great win for a first major - leader start to finish effectively and had to shoot a 65 to win it. Pre tournament both Bryson and Viktor would have expected to win if they could post 264 or 266.

Stuff

Your initial assessment appears to be correct. It could have been worse, if it had been Tiger Woods he might have been shot or choked by the officer involved...
