India's top golfer Jeev Milkha Singh on Wednesday had an MRI scan on his right wrist which has bothered him for the last few months.

"I got the MRI done in the morning and the reports are still awaited. Recently, I had been feeling that some problem in the wrist was affecting my drive," Jeev told reporters in Chandigarh.

He said though there is nothing serious and the problem would not stop him from playing, he wants to assess the exact nature of the "damage".

"As I have been playing golf 40 weeks in a year and the wrist takes the load, I  guess I have to do more weight training and some physiotherapy also. However, there is nothing to worry about," said Jeev, who would be seen in action early next month at the Royal Trophy in Thailand.

Jeev said that in recent tournaments he had felt a "little knack at certain places [in the right wrist] during the swing".

"I need to further strengthen my wrist. My physiotherapists Philipa and Sheela have been advising me from time to time," he said.

Jeev, who is taking a well deserved rest at his home in Chandigarh after winning four prestigious tournaments this year which fetched him worldwide earnings of USD 2.8 million, said he has not touched a club since landing in India.
