Will Zalatoris says players discussed delaying, canceling PGA Championship second round
New York TimesLOUISVILLE, Ky. — A small group of players discussed not playing the second round of the PGA Championship as scheduled following the death of a pedestrian outside of Valhalla Golf Club, as well as the arrest of world No. Will Zalatoris detailed the 20-30 minute conversation, which took place in the Valhalla locker room, to a small group of reporters after his round Friday afternoon. The group of unnamed players considered approaching the PGA of America about the cancellation or delay of Friday’s play, he said. The PGA moved the first tee times from 7:15 a.m. Scheffler, who was arrested at the Valhalla entrance at 6:20 a.m. while trying to navigate the traffic congestion, was released at 9:12 and made his 10:08 tee time but had a dramatically shortened practice routine.
