Jamie Donaldson has had a bit of a lucky escape in an apparent accident with a chainsaw.

The Welsh golfer, who was part of Paul McGinley's 2014 Ryder Cup-winning Europe team, tweeted a photo of the damage done to his hand.

Captioning the photo, the 40-year-old remarks: "So folks in my time off decided to have a fight with a chainsaw and lost! Oops!! C u in Dubai".

The Omega Dubai Desert Classic takes place in the first week of February which suggests he will have recovered fully by then:
