He's Back! Allenby Bickers With Caddy, Needs Police Escort
/Score Golf's Jason Logan with the latest twist in the wild, wacky and weird world of Robert Allenby, who bickered with caddie Mick Middlemo over club selection. The resulting brouhaha ended with Middlemo getting fired (but finishing the front nine!), then walking off and according to Allenby--I repeat, according to Allenby--suggested he'd be waiting for the Australian golfer in the parking lot.
And this is mostly in Robert's words. Enjoy. Including this:
“This is the worst incident I’ve ever witnessed as a player,” the veteran continued. “I’ve never been threatened and as he walked away he said, ‘I’ll be waiting for you in the car park.’
“He’s an Australian and he didn’t act like an Australian, let’s put it that way.”
Allenby said he would be asking tournament officials for a security escort out of the golf course.
