Ryder Cup fan hit by Brooks Koepka tee shot says she is now BLIND in one eye

A spectator struck by a golf ball at the Ryder Cup said she has lost the sight in her right eye and is planning to sue organisers.

Corine Remande, 49, had travelled to France from Egypt with her husband Raphael to watch the biennial showdown between Europe and the United States, held at Le Golf National club in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines just outside Paris.

But the avid golf fan's holiday ended abruptly when a tee shot from American Brooks Koepka veered left, landed among a crowd of spectators on the sixth hole and hit her in the right eye. 

US Open champion Koepka swiftly apologised to Remande following the incident.

Remande however has said she plans to seek legal action, claiming there was no warning from officials before the ball hurtled into the gallery. She said scans had revealed a 'fracture of the right socket and the explosion of the eyeball'.

'Quite clearly, there is responsibility on the part of the organisers,' Remande told AFP as she left the Croix-Rousse hospital in Lyon.

'Officials did not shout any warning as the player's ball went into the crowd.'

Remande admitted she 'appreciated the gesture from the golfer'.

'I tried to stay positive with him so that he didn't lose his concentration,' she said. 'But once I was taken away, I didn't hear anything from the organisers.'

Remande is set to consult a lawyer on Tuesday with a view to seeking damages.
