Robert Allenby recovering after kidnap

Australian Golfer Robert Allenby feels lucky to be alive after he was kidnapped, beaten and robbed in Honolulu on Friday night before being dumped about 10km away from the abduction site.

Allenby was at the popular Amuse Wine Bar in the tourist-laden Waikiki with his close friend Anthony Puntoriero after missing the cut at the Sony Open.

The 43-year-old believes the suspects may have drugged him before he was taken to an underground car park where he was knocked out, robbed and thrown in the boot of a car.
