Graeme McDowell explains what really happened with his 'freak' hand injury in China

…or at least what he remembers of it.

REMEMBER GRAEME MCDOWELL’S “freak” hand injury at the WGC-HSBC Champions back at the start of November? No?

Well it left his hand looking like this, which is not exactly ideal for a professional golfer.

At the time G-Mac said that the bruising and swelling was caused when he “had an argument with a door.”

That might be true, but to be honest, he doesn’t really know. He was sleepwalking when it happened.

“I actually don’t know what happened to my hand,” he told the Golf Channel yesterday. “I was sleepwalking.”

“I woke up out of this dream, standing in a hotel-room door, in my boxer shorts, and three seconds later I had the most searing pain in my right hand. I have no idea what happened.”

He hadn’t even been up late — he went to bed at a very responsible nine o’clock in China that night.

“That was my first sleepwalking experience, and believe me, it wasn’t a good one for me.”
