Golf Monthly caught up with Jamie Donaldson earlier this year and the Welshman was in good spirits during our photoshoot, as you can see in the above video.

Donaldson proceeds to strike a number of poses before attempting a rather perilous-looking headstand on a rock.

His form this season - which included a victory at the Czech Masters and six other top-10 finishes - has been very impressive.

He also starred at the Ryder Cup, winning three points from a possible four en debut at Gleneagles.

The 39-year-old currently ranks second on the Race to Dubai standings following a strong showing at the BMW Masters.

Strong showings at the WGC-HSBC Champions and Turkish Airlines Open could see him threaten Rory McIlroy's lead atop the standings.
