Jeffrey Guan required emergency surgery in Canberra after suffering a serious fracture to his left cheekbone and eye socket when struck by a ball during a NSW Open regional qualifying pro-am on September 20.
Jeffrey Guan is refusing to give up on his golfing dreams despite being left blind in one eye by a freak on-course accident.
The prodigious talent has detailed the despair and torment of the life-changing mishap that came just a week after making his US PGA debut in California. "A day later, I was transferred to the Sydney Eye Hospital to undergo another surgery, more tests and further treatment."After the second surgery, I spent the next two weeks in intensive care. This stay was critical to make sure my eyeball was stable.
"Not only was I utterly distraught by the news I had received, but the whole situation made me very depressed and somewhat angry. "The frustration is unbearable. Why did this happen? How in the world am I supposed to recover, return, and be the same player I was, or even better?Yet Guan, the only player other than Ryan Ruffels since the great Scott in 1997-98 to successfully defend their Australian junior amateur championship, is vowing to play on."I will continue to work hard and do my best to achieve my dream.
