Robert Allenby is mad. He’s mad because Anthony Kim beat him. He’s also mad because Kim was apparently only a few hours removed from an all night booze session when the two faced off.
Anthony Kim notched a victory for USA in the President’s Cup when he beat Allenby 5 and 3. Allenby alleges that the American was out until 4AM the previous morning. Here’s what Mr. Alleby had to say:
“Maybe we should all take the theory of Anthony Kim,” Allenby said. “Get home at 4 o’clock (in the morning) and then go shoot 6 under.”
Asked if his comments were on the record, Allenby said, “I don’t care. Ask his playing partners. Ask his team. He is the loosest cannon in that team.”
Allenby went on to call the 24-year-old Kim golf’s “current John Daly.”
Sour grapes, anybody? Is Allenby mad that he didn’t lose by more? Isn’t it more embarrassing to lose to somebody who’s playing half-drunk? In any case, Kim denied the allegations. But they’re probably true since Kim had previously described his first year on the our as a “vodka-fueled rookie season.”
