Sometime around late 2024, Jeffrey Guan, a young Australian golfer, was hit by an errant shot from another golfer. That left him blind in one eye. The 22-year-old golfer has since made a comeback—you can read about that here. His injury was a cautionary tale, and yesterday at LIV Golf UK, a veteran golfer was almost hit by Bryson DeChambeau’s tee shot and later revealed how close he was to getting seriously injured. Find out more about it in today’s edition, plus Charley Hull’s costly four-putt, Paige Spiranac’s rant, and LIV pros’ possible exodus from the league.
