Australian golfer Jeffrey Guan has vowed to return to the sport and “conquer any obstacle” after he was struck in the face by a golf ball and completely lost sight in his left eye.
“The instant ringing and pain rushed to my head, and I dropped to the ground,” Guan wrote.
Any activity that required energy, including walking and eating, would leave him in “excruciating pain,” he wrote.
Though he missed the cut, “just competing in the event was a massive accomplishment,” Golf Magazine wrote.
He had recently signed a deal with Sportfive, a sports marketing company based in Germany that also represents Spanish professional golfer Jon Rahm.
