Quite bizarre that some jobsworth copper would fuck up the World's number one golfer over something so trivial.

He spent 70 minutes in lock up and it had to have affected his round.

He assaulted the copper and it sounds like he behaved like a total arse.

Not sure about that. Other reports indicate he didn’t stop due to confusing directions, the copper grabbed his car until he stopped, then dragged him out of the car and cuffed him.

It sounds like he was told to proceed by an officer on traffic detail and the jobsworth didn't get the message.

"Assaulted", he fell on his arse hence "second degree".

What a load of pointless shite from some jobsworth twat.

He shot 66, one shot lower than the previous day! Hardened crim under that goodie goodie persona?

LMPD Is not known for their honesty, and credibility.
Ask Brianna Taylor.

Hosting the PGA championship, is estimated to bring in $80 million, to the city of Louisville. Fat chance of Valhalla hosting another PGA event, anytime soon.

The Mayor’s office is reporting that the arresting officer’s body cam was not on, during the incident.

I got into a skirmish like that once on my way to work in the USA. Accident plugging an intersection and I thought the copper standing in front of me waved me along. I was wrong. He just went ape-shit when I started moving and must have screamed at me for 5 minutes. Then I had to sit there as he glowered at me. No tickets and no cuffs however.
