The Australian golfer Jeffrey Guan has announced that despite a serious accident in which he lost the sight in his left eye, he will continue to pursue his dream of playing on the major golf tours. Guan sustained severe injuries to the left side of his face last month during a pro-am tournament. The 20-year-old suffered fractures to his cheekbone and eye socket and has since undergone two surgeries. A return to play is not expected for at least six months. Just a week before the fateful event, Guan made his PGA Tour debut at the Procore Championship. But now, the talented player faces an unplanned break to deal with the aftermath of the accident. The PGA of Australia confirmed this Thursday the permanent loss of Guan's vision in his left eye. To provide support, fundraising campaigns have been launched by the PGA of Australia and the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF) to raise $500,000 for Guan. In a poignant statement, Guan spoke about the emotional and mental stresses the accident has caused, not only for him but also for his family. Despite the setbacks, the golfer is determined and resolute not to give up on his dream. "I will continue to work hard and do my best to achieve my dream," he said. "These past four weeks have been the hardest of my life, but I am mentally stronger and will be ready to overcome any obstacles in the future. I will come back.
