| Maybe there was a good reason to be skeptical of Robert Allenby's account of a harrowing night last Friday and early Saturday in Honolulu. The two homeless men who accosted Allenby, according to the homeless woman the golfer credits with saving his life, have now spoken to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and offer a very different account of their encounter with the Aussie. Toa Kaili and Chris Khamis told the paper they came upon Allenby around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, presuming he was homeless and in need of help. "I was like, 'Hey brother, you got to wake up because the sidewalk sweepers are going to come. You don't want to get swept up,'" Kaili said to the Star-Advertiser. "So it took him about nine minutes before he got to his senses and when I got him up his feet, I said 'Okay. Check if you got everything on you.' And that's when he noticed, like, 'I don't got my phone or my wallet.'" Kaili said Allenby eventually grew agitated, so he left, leaving Khamis to help. Khamis said as he was turning around to find a cab for Allenby, the golfer passed out and fell onto a lava rock, injuring himself. "There was no crime (when I was present). It was his stupidity," Khamis said. "He passed out and hit his head. I was there. Nobody pushed him out of a car." Khamis, 47, added Allenby had told him before the fall that he had been to a strip club earlier in the night to "get some action." |
