Honolulu police say a man has been arrested in connection with credit cards stolen from Australian golfer Robert Allenby.

Allenby was in Honolulu for the Sony Open when he said he was beaten and robbed during a night out on 16 January.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported that a 32-year-old man already in custody at Oahu Community Correctional Facility was arrested.

Allenby posted photos of a bloodied forehead and swollen eye to his Facebook account. He says he has no recollection of anything from about 11pm to 1.30am the night he was at a wine bar.

Police opened investigations into second-degree robbery and fraudulent charges on Allenby’s credit cards.
