Video: On The Rocks At The Palmer Course, Two Final Times

/

A four-way tie for the lead includes Erik Compton, Michael Putnam, Justin Thomas and Bill Haas heading into Sunday's Humana Challenge with Matt Kuchar one back after a poor finish. Besides Humana's departure after Sunday's final round and the Palmer course leaving the rota, there's a very good chance this is the last year they will play a course hugging the rocky Santa Rosa mountains.

Anyone who recalls Lanny Wadkins and Craig Stadler's epic Hope Classic playoff at Indian Wells or some of the down-the-stretch fun at the Palmer course will lament the loss of this eye-catching once-a-year hazard.

In the meantime, we have two weird shots off the rocks Sunday by James Hahn and Scott Piercy. Both cases appeared to benefit from a deadening effect when hitting the mountainside. How, is the question?

Hahn’s 143-yard tee shot that rolls just past the cup to 3 feet on the par-3 17th hole where he made the putt for birdie.

Piercy’s shot hitting the rock ledge and where the cameraman rightly anticipates the bounce the ball should have taken. Piercy ends up making the 8-foot putt for birdie.

Allenby Recants: Gives Homeless Woman Reward

A day after questioning Charade Keane's motives for telling media outlets what she witnessed, Robert Allenby wisely rewarded the woman who saved him from a sticky situation with a $1000 AmEx gift card (and maybe some reward points too!).

John Strege tries to unravel the run of stories on Allenby's increasingly confusing claims of robbery, kidnapping and assault.

On Monday night, Allenby and Keane met on camera (see below), and he thanked her for helping him. Their exchange:

Allenby: "Thank you for looking after me."

Keane: "No problem."

Allenby: "I appreciate what you did for me."

The meeting and story on Honolulu's KHON2 News:

Jason Sobel reports that Honolulu detectives issued a statement saying their investigation was ongoing.

The news, though, was that there is no news.

No arrests have yet to be made and suspects are still being investigated.

"Detectives are reviewing witness statements and gathering security video footage," read the statement, issued around 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday. "They are also looking into recent charges made on Mr. Allenby's credit card. No arrest has been made.

"Detectives have opened second degree robbery and fraudulent use of credit card investigations. Second degree robbery is punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment; fraudulent use of credit cards is punishable by up to five years."
