From the BBC:

Greg Norman is recovering in hospital after almost losing his left hand in a chainsaw accident.

The 59-year-old Australian, who won the Open in 1986 and 1993, posted a picture of himself recovering at a US hospital.

The former world number one, who last week posted a photo of himself cutting back a small tree, tweeted: "Working with a chainsaw ALWAYS be respectful of the unexpected.

"I was one lucky man today. Damaged but not down & out. Still have left hand."

  • I read about this .... they said a branch pulled his left arm down to the saw... which is silly because his left arm should have been holding the saw. Both hands at all times! I saw the earlier photo of him with his chainsaw and it was one of those little ones. What's the bet he was doing it one-handed?

  • That was my first thought, how do you cut your wrist if you've got both hands on the saw

  • Be responsible he wasn't it appears.
