(Reuters) - Two days after being arrested following an incident with police, Scottie Scheffler left the PGA Championship on Sunday proud of how he battled under the circumstances and also very tired.

Scheffler was the pre-tournament favourite when he got to Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, fresh off celebrating the birth of his first child and chasing back-to-back major titles and a fifth win in six starts.
