Allenby returning to Sony a year after bizarre incident

KAPALUA, Hawaii – Robert Allenby is returning to the Sony Open and hopeful of a better outcome - on and off the golf course.

Allenby still doesn't know what happened last year the night he missed the cut, a bizarre tale that left him with a bloodied scrape on his forehead and a black eye. The story gained traction because of a photo he posted to Facebook to let his children know what had happened. He was robbed of his credit cards and cellphone.

Allenby first said he was robbed, kidnapped, beaten and dumped in a park.
