Scheffler announced Bennett's birth on May 13, 2024 — days before his run at the 2024 PGA Championship came to a screeching halt when he was arrested due to a miscommunication about traffic flow before the second round at Valhalla Golf Club.

Upon being released from custody, Scheffler shot a five-under 66.
'I can't really explain what happened this morning. I did spend some time stretching in a jail cell. That was a first for me. That was part of my warmup,' Scheffler said at the time.
'… I was fortunate to be able to make it back out and play some golf today.'

One of Frank Lloyd Wright's earliest homes — and the only of its kind in Indiana — has listed for sale
A quintessential Frank Lloyd Wright home is on sale for $1.17 million in Indiana. The four-bedroom family home in South Bend is hailed as 'a true architectural treasure' and 'the only true Prairie residence in the state,' in the listing, first reported by The nearly 3,000-square-foot construction, completed in 1906, was an early work for Wright, who remains one of the most respected architects in history. It received his hands-on attention throughout its development, according to agent Steve Bizzaro, who co-listed the property with Gabrielle Iams. 11 The front of the roughly 3,000-square-foot South Bend home.

The home, the first Wright property built in Indiana, bears all of the hallmarks of his signature style — bold horizontal lines, overhanging eaves, ample built-ins, an open floor plan and natural materials. 'With 65 original art glass windows, custom built-ins, and period lighting, the home showcases Wright's signature harmony between architecture and artistry,' Bizzaro added. 11 The home has terraces on the front and back.

No.1 Scheffler, four-over, says don't count him out at US Open
World number one Scottie Scheffler watches play during the second round of the US Open, where he fired a 71 at Oakmont (Patrick Smith) Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler endured a frustrating second round at the US Open, a harsh mental and physical challenge, but vows he's not out of the title hunt at Oakmont. Scheffler, coming off three wins in his past four starts including his third major at the PGA Championship, fired a one-over par 71 in Friday's second round to stand on four-over 144 for 36 holes. Advertisement "Mentally this was as tough as I've battled for the whole day," Scheffler said. "There was a lot of stuff going on out there that was not going in my favor necessarily. "I felt like Teddy (caddie Ted Scott) and I did a great job of battling, especially coming down the stretch." Scheffler said that he could have missed the cut with the struggles he faced but instead has himself within reach of victory with a weekend fightback. "With the way I was hitting it was easily a day I could have been going home and battled pretty hard to stay in there," Scheffler said. Advertisement "I don't think by any means I'm out of the tournament." Scheffler made five bogeys and four birdies in a roller coaster round. "I feel like I battled really hard. It's challenging out there," he said. "I was not getting the ball in the correct spots and paying the price for it. "Felt like me getting away with one-over today wasn't all that bad. It could have been a lot worse. "I anticipated to hit it better... any time you're not hitting it the way (you want), or playing up to my expectations, I think it's frustrating." Scheffler won't be trying to impose his will upon Oakmont as he tries to mount a fightback. Advertisement "I bounced back really well to a lot of the mistakes that I made," he said. "Forcing it around this place is probably not a good recipe to play too much good golf for me. "You've got to be hitting fairways, you've got to be hitting greens, and hopefully I'll be able to do that on the weekend." Rounds were dragging well beyond five hours with waits on certain holes a factor adding to the tension. "It felt long to me. Both the par-fives we basically walked up on the group in front of us," Scheffler said. "I'm just trying to play. I've got too many concerns other than the pace it takes to get around this place." Advertisement Scheffler said the delays are not a shock. "With this many players and this tough of a golf course, it's going to take a while," he said. "That's a big piece of property. It just takes time to hit that many golf shots." js/rcw
