HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Pro golfer Robert Allenby is recovering after he was allegedly kidnapped and robbed Friday evening near Waikiki.

According to the Golf Channel, the 43-year-old was at a wine bar near Waikiki with his caddie Mick Middlemo and his friend Anthony Puntoriero. Neither of them were present at the time of the kidnapping.

Allenby was allegedly beaten and robbed before being dropped off at a park six miles away from the wine bar.

Golf Channel reporter Steve Sands says Allenby sustained facial injuries and was robbed of his cell phone and wallet.

The Australian golfer missed the cut at the Sony Open in Hawaii. Sands says Allenby was supposed to fly back to the mainland Saturday morning.

HPD has classified the case as a second-degree robbery. The investigation is ongoing.

Looks more like this guy was too drunk to walk and did a face plant on the sidewalk, then got rolled by passersby. Not saying that it's right, but something about his story doesn't ring true.

I think theres another story he's not telling,.a pro golfer that never made the cut,.kidnapped..I don't know....

yeah, loss of memory and robbed/beaten
sounds like it may be roofies
i know hear they can cause amnesia

The story sounds familiar(the movie the hangover) drugged, roofie in his drink, kidnapped, friends looking for him..

A homeless woman told Nine News in Australia that she found Allenby, 43, “bloodied and confused” and arguing with two men about a block away from the bar where he had been out last Friday night.

She alleged Allenby asked her to use his credit card to withdraw $500 cash to pay his attackers so he could get his wallet back, Nine News reports.

The station also reports the Honolulu Police Department has CCTV footage of a suspect using Allenby’s credit card to buy two bottles of alcohol at Waikiki.

Allenby had previously described being saved by a homeless woman after the attack.

While his recollection of the incident is patchy, Allenby recalled a woman coming to his aid after he was dumped from the car, roughly six miles from where he was abducted.

His recollection of events contradicts what the homeless woman, who said she found Allenby a block away from the bar, has told Nine News and Hawaiian police.

Allenby claimed the homeless woman scared off two other men who were kicking him.

“A homeless lady pretty much saved my life,” Allenby had earlier said.

CCTV apparently shows him surrounded by up to five men, according to reports.

The bizarre ordeal has prompted sympathy but also skepticism from members of the public, with some questioning whether it was a “publicity stunt.”
