CNN —Australian golfer Jeffrey Guan’s dreams came true in September, as he made his PGA Tour debut.
A week later, the 20-year-old was left blinded in one eye after being struck in the face by a golf ball.
The freak accident occurred during a pro-am tournament at Catalina Golf Club in New South Wales, Australia.
Guan was later airlifted to Canberra, where he underwent surgery on his eye.
Guan is a two-time junior national champion in Australia and was primed to start his breakthrough in the professional game.
