Australian golfer Robert Allenby has said that his claim that he was abducted, robbed, beaten and dumped in a park in Hawaii is continuing to be investigated by the police.

Allenby reported that he had been kidnapped from a wine bar on 17 January after missing the cut at the Sony Open in Honolulu the previous day. He claims that he cannot remember a two-and-a-half-hour period from the night when he suffered facial injuries.

However, the golfer said that his story stays exactly the same as the way he told it, the BBC reported.

Allenby has said that a homeless woman spotted him being dumped from a car several miles away from his alleged abduction. However, reports in the US later claimed that the woman had given conflicting details, saying that she found Allenby just one block away from the bar he had been drinking in.

Allenby, who is preparing for the Phoenix Open starting on Thursday, has admitted that there has been a lot of confusion about the incident, but insisted that he has never lied to anyone.

The four-time PGA Tour winner said that from about 23:06 to about 01:27, he has no memory in his brain, insisting that he has nothing. He said that he cannot explain how frustrating that is because they all want to know the truth and they all want to get to the bottom of it.

But, Allenby added that there's no way in the world what he drank could do what was done to him.
