Robert Allenby's strange 2015 took another odd twist on Thursday in Round 1 of the RBC Canadian Open.
Allenby was on the par-5 13th, his fourth hole of the day, at Glen Abbey Golf Club, and he had hit his tee shot some 250 yards and into a water hazard. He dropped and laid up, leaving about 135 yards to the hole for his fourth shot. Standing at the ball, Allenby's caddie, Mick Middlemo, suggested 8-iron. Allenby thought 7-iron. Middlemo insisted and Allenby swung the 8-iron. A gust of wind caught the shot and deposited the ball into another hazard. A confrontation ensued, according to ScoreGolf.
