LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Someone died Friday morning at the PGA Championship.
Over and above all the concern about Scottie Scheffler’s arrest, the “Free Scottie” T-shirts, the jokes about an officer’s pants “damaged beyond repair,” the questions about the PGA Championship tee times … there’s this: Someone died at a golf tournament.
His name is John Mills. He was 69, working in retirement as a security guard working on Shelbyville Road outside Valhalla Golf Club. The road — U.S. 60 — is a busy five-lane highway with no sidewalks in the area of the golf club.
