A tee off from Brooks Kopeka at the Ryder Cup on Friday left a spectator hospitalized after suffering a serious eye injury when the car swerved into the gallery through the normal four hole.
Corine Remande, aged 49, went to France for the event. She told AFP that doctors had told her that she had lost sight of her permanently because of the injury.
"I did not feel like the ball hit my eye, and then I felt the blood flowing. The analysis on Friday confirmed a fracture of the right eye cavity and an eyeball explosion. "
The woman is seeking damages to cover her medical expenses following the injury, Ryder Cup officials making a statement to BBC Sport.
"We have been in contact with the family concerned, starting with immediate treatment and then providing support, helping with the repatriation logistics, including a family transfer from Paris to Lyon. We will continue to offer our support as long as necessary. "
Remande criticized the organizers of the Ryder Cup, claiming that they did not contact her after the incident and that he was not warned that the ball was heading towards the gallery. Officials countered this claim by saying that there were many reports that "before" had been shouted, but acknowledged that it could be difficult for fans.
"We can confirm that" the front "has been shouted over and over, but we also know how hard it is to know when and where each ball is hit if you are in the crowd."
Remande congratulated Brooks Kopeka and said that the American golfer had immediately checked her, but she deliberately downplayed the severity of the injury to Kopeka so as not to affect her concentration.
