Jeffrey Guan, a 20-year-old Australian professional golfer, has been seriously injured during a pro-am event at the NSW Open Regional Qualifying Series at Club Catalina, Batemans Bay. Guan, who made his PGA Tour debut last week, was struck by a golf ball just below his eye, resulting in multiple orbital fractures to his eye socket. He was initially treated on the course before being airlifted to a hospital in Canberra. The injury has raised concerns about potential vision loss and the possibility of it being career-ending. The PGA of Australia and Golf Australia have released a joint statement confirming the incident and expressing their support for Guan's recovery.
