Robert Allenby is once again in the eye of the media storm. If in January, the Australian was the subject of a beating and an alleged kidnapping after having drinks in Hawaii, now his name is in the news for having starred in a loud brawl with his caddie during the Canadian Open. <\/p>\n
The pair have two different versions of what happened, although both admit there were insults before the caddie, Mick Middlemo, who has been with Allenby for 15 years, left the course in the middle of the round.<\/p>\n
According to Allenby, the caddie chose the wrong club and that caused the ball to go for par into a creek to end up making triple bogey on that hole.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said, \u2018You know this happens every week. This has been going on for the last three, four or five months. We keep making bad mistakes and you\u2019re not helping me under the circumstances,'\u201d Allenby said before Middlemo apparently \u201clost his temper\u201d and then left the field.<\/p>\n
Middlemo tells the story in a different way.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe called me a fat bastard a couple of times,\u201d Middlemo told an Australian website.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said, \u2018A you don\u2019t say that to me again.\u2019 At that point they were both yelling at each other. <\/p>\n
\u201cI apologized to the players in our group, SJ Park and Jon Curran, because it was pretty strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
Middlemo later said that Allenby is \u201cjust a bully,\u201d and that he had had enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t behave like that in a workplace, but somehow he thinks it\u2019s appropriate on a golf course,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Allenby finished with 81 strokes, 9 over par, in the first round and withdrew from the tournament.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
