Scottie Scheffler was left in disbelief as a birdie putt didn't break toward the hole at the Charles Schwab Challenge played at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.<br/><br/>With a roughly 11-foot putt left for birdie, Scheffler watched as his putt didn't break toward the hole and rolled by about two feet.<br/><br/>Scheffler, in disbelief, flipped his putter and looked up at the sky before saying, 'Screw these greens man. Gosh, how does it do that?'<br/><br/>The world No. 1 golfer would eventually tap his following putt in for par and didn't further damage his score.<br/><br/>He then went on to dominate the rest of the course - shooting five-under for the day to move to three-under for the tournament and vault into the top ten. <br/><br/>Scheffler would birdie the 13th hole and the 18th hole to move to even-par for the tournament.<br/><br/>After that, he birdied the first three holes of the front nine then parred his way out for a five-under 65 in the second round. <br/><br/>It comes a week to the day after his dramatic and shocking early morning arrest at the PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky.<br/><br/>After being booked for allegedly dragging a cop who hung on to his vehicle, Scheffler was charged with felony second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and failure to obey signals from an officer directing traffic.<br/><br/>The felony charge could land Scheffler in prison for up to ten years.<br/><br/>There was speculation that the charges against the Masters champion would be dropped - or even reduced. <br/><br/>Instead, however, officials vowed to 'respect the legal process' and 'let it play out'.<br/><br/>The detective who arrested Scheffler, Bryan Gillis, was given 'corrective action' for his failure to activate his bodycam to record the situation.<br/><br/>'Detective Gillis should have turned on his body-worn camera, but did not,' Louisville police chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said at a press conference on Thursday. <br/><br/>Detective Gillis is facing further scrutiny with accusations that he once drove an 'intoxicated civilian' in his 'police vehicle' and did 'donuts' in a business parking lot.<br/><br/>At yesterday's first round, Scheffler struggled with the course - opening with two birdies and two bogeys on the front nine.<br/><br/>A triple bogey came on the 13th hole when his shot over a pond landed in the water and then his putt for double bogey rolled a foot past the hole.<br/><br/>He closed the day with a birdie on 17 to make his score two-over for the round.<br/><br/>After his arrest last week, Scheffler finished out the PGA Championship in a tie for eighth place after carding a 13-under for the tournament.
