What an awful thing to happen!

I read about this story the day it was first put on the news, and the newest update to the original story really upsets me. A 49 year old woman was permanently blinded in her right eye as a result of a golf ball being hit , but missing it's intended target and hitting her in the eye at the Ryder's Cup. Golfer Brooks Koepka was the player who hit the doomed shot. The woman said she didn't feel pain at first, until blood started pouring forth from her eye. She was rushed to the hospital and it was determined the stray ball had exploded her eyeball and damaged the eye socket. Even though the golfer, Brooks Koepka was upset it happened and apologetic, she plans on suing the whole operation. I would sue too. As I thought about how bad this incident is, how this mid age woman lost her eye, I did think, that the whole thing could have been worse. If she had been standing in a different position and the ball had hit her in the head, she could have been killed. So, she was lucky she only lost her eye and not her life.
