Freak accident forces Allenby out of PGA Championship

Robert Allenby's recent accident away from the golf course came at a crucial point in the 2010 schedule.

Now the Australian golfer will miss three weeks, including this week's PGA Tour stop and next week's PGA Championship - the final major of the season - according to various reports.

Allenby is reported to have torn ligaments in his knee after slipping on the deck of his boat while fishing in the Bahamas.

"I was so ready to go," Allenby told the Associated Press from his home in Jupiter, Fla. "I had two weeks of working out at home, pounding it in the gym, pounding golf balls ... and bang! Just a day of fishing. I thought that would be nice, get some lobster on the way home. Very depressing."
