The police officer who arrested Scottie Scheffler outside Valhalla Golf Club on Friday didn't have his body camera turned on, according to Louisville mayor Craig Greenberg.
The world No 1 was placed in handcuffs in the early hours of Friday morning in a wild turn of events.
A fatal accident outside Valhalla had led to traffic delays getting into the course with Scheffler being stopped by police after trying to gain access to the venue.
The 27-year-old was taken away in a police car with his mugshot released to the public and he was charged with four counts, including second-degree assault of a police officer.
Scheffler was eventually released where he made it back to Valhalla with a small amount of time to warm up on the range before getting to the tee box in time for the start of his second round.

A police report from the arrest alleged that Scheffler 'dragged a detective to the ground' with his vehicle before he was placed in handcuffs.
Detective Bryan Gillis was said to have been directing traffic when Scheffler 'refused to comply' with the police offer's demands.
It read: “Subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground. Detective Gillis suffered pain, swelling, and abrasions to his left wrist and knee.
"He was transported to the hospital for further medical treatment by emergency medical personnel.
"Detective Gillis' uniform pants, valued at approximately $80 were damaged beyond repair."
But Louisville mayor Greenberg has admitted that the city doesn't have body camera footage from the arrest.
"The officer did not have body cam footage turned on during the incident," Greenberg said.
"We will release footage that we have.
"To my knowledge, we have not yet discovered any video of the initial contact between Officer Gillis and Mr. Scheffler."

The Louisville mayor later added that there was a camera from across the street that filmed everything and the footage will be released soon.
Scheffler’s attorney Steve Romines has disputed the description of the incident that led to his client's arrest.
“[Scheffler] was proceeding as directed by another traffic officer and driving a marked player’s vehicle with credentials visible,” Romines said.

“In the confusion, Scottie is alleged to have disregarded a different officer’s traffic signals resulting in these charges.
"Multiple eyewitnesses have confirmed that he did not do anything wrong but was simply proceeding as directed.
"He stopped immediately upon being directed to and never at any point assaulted any officer with his vehicle.
"We will litigate this matter as needed and he will be completely exonerated.”
