Kim Decides Allenby Needs To Work On His Short Putts

Mark Garrod on the Anthony Kim-Robert Allenby World Match Play rekindling of their Presidents Cup showdown/highly embarrassing spat:

There appeared to be no love lost between Kim and Allenby. After their cup duel Allenby made accusations of late-night drinking by his opponent. They have since held "clear-the-air" talks and say they have finished discussing the matter, but former European Tour player Wayne Riley said after watching their morning round: "I'm looking forward to the shake (of hands] at the end – will it be a shake with a left uppercut?"

In the end there was just the handshake and no more. In fact, they exchanged few words throughout. At lunch Kim was questioned about asking Allenby to hole some short putts but said: "I don't really think I have. Maybe a 2-footer, but it had a little break to it. Let's just say I am pretty focused on my game and if that slides by me that's a mistake."

Allenby responded: "That's match play. It does not matter, I will putt them all out if he wants. I'm happy to, I'm not going to miss them. I gave him four-footers but it does not bother me."
