Bengaluru, November 17: England golfer Luke Donald is recovering and is reportedly stable after being admitted to a Georgia hospital after feeling prolonged chests pains.

The former world No.1 was scheduled to play the PGA Tour's RSM Classic but pulled out before the first round in Sea Island and later used Instagram to post a picture of himself wearing a hospital gown.

"Well that wasn't quite the finish to my year I had in mind!!" he wrote.

"Had some chest pain last night and into this morning & it kept getting worse. After some medical advice, I had to withdraw & was shipped off to the hospital to get my heart looked at.

In the Instagram post Donald himself updated his health condition saying there is nothing to fear about.

"After 7 hours of tests all looks good with my heart thankfully," he posted.

A four-time European Ryder Cup member, Donald has won 13 times globally.

The 39-year-old had topped the world rankings for a total of 56 weeks between 2011 and 2012.
