Professional Golfer Loses Sight In One Eye After Freak On-Course Accident, Vows To Keep Chasing Dream

OK-

Professional golfer Jeffrey Guan recently suffered an unfathomable setback that will affect the rest of his life both on and off the course, but is bound and determined to not let it keep him from chasing his dream of being a household name in the sport.

Guan, 20, made his PGA Tour debut in September at the Procore Championship, but just one week after achieving that goal, the Aussie was struck in the left eye with an errant teeshot during a qualifier. He was immediately taken to a local hospital to undergo surgery before being airlifted to another hospital where he spent two weeks in intensive care.

Despite the immediate medical attention, Guan suffered several fractures around his left eye socket and completely lost vision in the eye. more
