PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - A 36-year-old man attending the second round of The Players Championship golf tournament was subdued by a Taser and arrested on Friday.

Travis Parmelee, of Jacksonville, Fla., was charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest without violence after Sawgrass course marshals notified the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office that Parmelee was yelling at players and being belligerent near the 11th hole.

Capt. Dave Messenger said officers responded and tried to calm Parmelee down, but he became more combative, pulling away as officers tried to put him into a golf cart, prompting one to Taser him.
