Can we talk about Stuart Appleby's beard?
Stuart Appleby hasn't played on the PGA Tour in two months because of recent back surgery. But to be clear, he has not been spending that time stranded at sea, or living in a remote cabin in the woods.
We mention this because this is what Appleby looks like these days.

As you may recall, there was an incident earlier in the golf season involving Appleby's fellow Aussie Robert Allenby outside a wine bar in Honolulu. Appleby and Allenby have been confused for one another throughout their careers owing to their-similar sounding names and accents, but that was usually innocuous golf-related stuff, not something tied to a criminal altercation.
Because then there was this.
