Sir Andy Murray has revealed he lost his wedding ring again while playing golf in the US.
The three-time Grand Slam champion made a public appeal for information last October when the ring went missing in Indian Wells, California.
He ties the ring to his shoe laces and had left his footwear in a hotel car park overnight to dry them out.
However, when he returned to collect them the next morning the shoes and the ring were gone.
He was close to filing a police report until a hotel employee spotted them in the lost-and-found department.
The 35-year-old has now told how the ring went missing again three months ago on a golf course when he returned to Indian Wells for a tournament.
In an interview with GQ, he admitted to losing the ring more than five times previously and said his wife Kim, 34, is getting used to it.
Asked about losing the ring last October, he said: “That wasn’t the first time it had happened. And then it happened six months later on a golf course when I went back to Indian Wells.
“I was on a putting green, I noticed that my laces were undone as I was walking back to the car and it was gone again, which for many reasons doesn’t look good. Because I tie it to my laces so I can grip a golf club or play tennis it’s fallen off a bunch of times. My wife said that she was kind of used it.”
Murray, who is competing at Wimbledon next week, described calling his wife Kim back home to tell her about his latest mishap.
He added: “When I called her she said ‘It’s just a ring, but I’ve actually been wanting to get another ring as well.
“So we’ll get you a new ring and I’ll order one for myself as well.’”
