| Post subject: | So, what really happened to Robert Allenby? |
Because tis story just doesn't add up. I'm guessing this didn't happen the way he said it did (The 2 parts in bold seem really odd/nonsensical to me): PGA Tour player Robert Allenby said he was kidnapped and robbed Friday night after missing the cut at the Sony Open in Hawaii. Allenby, 43, said he was at a wine bar in Waikiki when he was abducted at around 11 p.m. local time, placed in a car, driven 6½ miles away and robbed. "I didn't think I was going to survive this one," Allenby told the Australian Associated Press. "I was separated from my friend (Anthony Puntoriero) in the bar after we had paid the tab at 10:48 p.m., and he went to the bathroom and next thing you know I'm being dumped in a park miles away. "I only know this part because a homeless woman found me and told me she saw a few guys pull up and throw me out of the car. That is where I got the scrapes above my eye from the sidewalk." Golf Channel first reported on the abduction Saturday night. According to the TV report, Allenby said he was robbed of all his cash, credit cards and cell phone. The Golf Channel showed a photo of Allenby that it said he took himself that showed a large scrape above his swollen left eye as well as scratches on his nose. Allenby told the AAP that he was helped by a retired military man in the middle of the night after being found by the homeless woman. The man got him together and gave him money for a cab to take back to his hotel near Waialae Country Club, site of the Sony Open. "He got me into a taxi and paid for me to get to my hotel and I called police from there," Allenby, a four-time PGA Tour winner, told AAP. "I have his details and will be getting back in touch with him for sure." As of Saturday afternoon, Allenby and police were reviewing surveillance footage from the bar in an attempt to identify potential suspects, the Golf Channel report said. Charles Goodwin, who is part of the PGA Tour's security staff on site, is spearheading the investigation from the tour's standpoint, according to the Golf Channel. Goodwin is a former FBI agent who lives in Hawaii. Honolulu television station KHON2 said police were investigating it as second-degree robbery. "We have some names and numbers and they have some leads to follow up, so I am confident they will get the guys," Allenby told AAP. "With the FBI guys involved, they're the best, the guys on the tour are awesome, and they'll get to the bottom of it." Allenby is not sure if he is able to leave the island yet with the ongoing investigation. Although he hasn't won on the PGA Tour since 2001, Allenby is 27th on the tour's career money list with more than $27 million in earnings. News of the reported abduction quickly circulated around the PGA Tour on Saturday night. |

1. Some sort of "transaction" gone bad? 2. Some sort of "relationship dispute"? 3. An inside job - the "friend" just happened to disappear at the right time? And why did the retired military guy just scrape him up, help him, and give him cash for a cab instead of calling police? |

Anthony Kim is undoubtedly taking some pleasure in this as he sits in Dallas collecting $20 million not to play golf. http://golfweek.com/news/2009/oct/12/al ... st-cannon/ |

Drugs or sex. That's what it always turns out to be. |

Then that guy needs to eat more fiber and get in/out faster. I want to hear from the retired military guy that helped the millionaire pro golfer in distress - by giving him money for cab fare instead of calling the police. |

I do believe he was beat up, I do believe his credit cards were taken as the police have places they were used, and probably his cash and phone. I believe nothing else about his story. |

He is lying, and I can't wait to hear the true story. |

I saw Allenby get snubbed by a few players during the US Open at Olympia Fields. It was a practice round and a few guys were waiting at the first tee when Allenby came up and wanted to join them. Can't remember the players, but they denied him and he was pissed. He just stood there awkwardly with his caddie. |

"I was separated from my friend in the bar after we paid the tab at 10:48 p.m. and he went to the bathroom, and next thing you know I'm being dumped in a park miles away.” Then he is found 3 hours later 1 block away from the bar. Not in a park that he claims. He claims now the homeless lady who found him is being paid to lie??? NOTE: Ambulance also treated him 1 block away. This story will go away really soon and Mrs Allenby will start reading all texts, |

yeah i think bigfan nailed this one unless the guy's some kind of crackhead who eventually got outed as a pro-golfer and the people he was doing drugs with decided to rob him after a couple hours of making love to the pipe. either way he was hanging with some shady people who decided to cash him out at the end of whatever he was doing. c'est la vie, no? |
