Perhaps his most famous incident came at St. Andrews in the 1995 British Open, when Michael "Sponge" Waite was on the bag.
"He picked up my bag over his head and threw it about 100 yards," Allenby said. "I had to carry it myself up to the green, but he was waiting for me when I got there. He said, 'I'm a professional, I'll finish the round.' And I birdied four of the last 10 holes."
BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
K.J. Choi was trying to keep pace with Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker when he got into jail on the eighth hole, sending his tee shot so far to the left that it went over the trees, bounced under a bridge and settled in thick grass about a yard short of the water.
The concrete bridge blocked his path back to the eighth fairway. A slope and trees kept him from going to the left. A penalty drop wouldn't have done him any good, for there was nowhere to go. Choi tried to squeeze his shot between a tree and the side of the bridge, but his shot hit the concrete, bounced over the water and back at his feet.
The second try was much better — and to some, it looked great.
Fans who looked toward the green saw a ball drop over a bunker and settled 10 feet away. A big cheer followed, but turns out it was Stricker hitting his second shot at the same time Choi was hitting his third.
Choi's ball came up short of the bunker in more deep grass.
"I didn't know he was still hitting," Stricker said. "Tiger said I was away, and I just hit it."
Choi got up-and-down for a solid bogey, and he wound up with 70 to finish five shots out of the lead.
