The eyeball of a woman "explodes" after being hit with a golf ball at the Ryder Cup

A woman lost sight at one eye after being hit with a golf ball at the Ryder Cup.

Corine Remande, 49, was shot in the face by a ball shot by American golfer Brooks Koepka at this year's tournament.

Remande told AFP that the balloon had caused such damage that she had lost sight of her right eye. A scan showed that Remande's right orbit was fractured and that his eyeball had been "blown up," according to the BBC.

"The doctors told me that I had lost the use of that eye," Remande told AFP.

Remande, who had come from Egypt to attend the tournament in Paris, is now considering taking legal action. According to Remande, the organizers have not contacted her since the incident. Remande also told AFP that there was "no screaming alarm from the field official when the ball went towards the crowd" .

The subject of misplaced golf balls and the injuries they sometimes cause to the spectators has already been discussed many times in the world of golf. Not all golfers are in the habit of shouting "in front" (the official warning to those on the way to a stray golf ball).

Koepka, whose ball hurt the eye of Remande, told the BBC after the accident: "You can scream before, but that does not matter at 300 meters, you can not hear it. "

It is traditional for golfers to sign gloves or balls, pay a hotel room or do other things like that to people that they hit with their balls.

There was no question as to whether Koepka had offered his help to Remande, although he came to watch her after the ball hit her.
