Script:
SOUNDBITE: Robert Allenby, professional golfer
"I was out to dinner at a nice restaurant which had a wine bar attached to it downtown. And I was just with my caddie and a buddy of mine from Australia.
SOUNDBITE: Robert Allenby, professional golfer
"I went to the bathroom. I came out, a group of guys said that your buddy is downstairs because they're closing up. I just thought, okay no worries. Downstairs, and you come out the lift and you go out into the car park. And that's where someone hit me. And two hours, two and a half hours later, I woke up on the street in the gutter. I had been thrown out of the trunk of a car. I had been robbed. So, and the only reason why I know that part is because a homeless lady told me and she said she saw it."
SOUNDBITE: Robert Allenby, professional golfer
"I don't know if I was drugged or not, I really don't know. But obviously the blow to the head just knocked me out cold."
SOUNDBITE: Robert Allenby, professional golfer
"Obviously the facial doesn't look too good. Some people say I look better. But it's more, I think there's a lot of shock in there too. Just the thought of being hit, thrown into a trunk, dumped six and a half miles away from where I was in the middle of nowhere with nothing, nothing, not a cent on me, it's like I was fortunate that someone helped me. But yeah, I mean it, it's scary. You just never know, you see this in movies. I've watched Taken and Taken 2 a few times and it's kind of like a spitting image. But I'm just very thankful that I'm alive."
