Scottie Scheffler unleashed an emphatic hat spike to celebrate PGA Championship and fans loved it
What a difference a year can make for Scottie Scheffler.
A year ago, the world's top-ranked golfer was arrested as he arrived for the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville. The stunning incident ultimately led to dropped charges against Scheffler, but on the course, he'd settle for an eighth-place finish.
This year, though, there was very little drama for Scheffler as he cruised to the PGA Championship win at Quail Hollow. It was his third major championship of his career and first since that arrest in Kentucky.
With emotions running high off the win, Scheffler broke out the perfect celebration for the moment. How does a Gronk Spike for his hat sound?
