Fan hit by Koepka drive says sight gone in eye

The spectator who was struck in the face by an errant Brooks Koepka tee shot on Friday at the Ryder Cup said she has lost the sight in her right eye and is planning to sue Ryder Cup organizers, according to The Telegraph.

Corine Remande, 49, was among a group of spectators gathered around the green at the sixth hole at Le Golf National club in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, near Paris.

The sixth hole is a short, drivable, par-4. Koepka's tee shot missed the green and struck Remande in the face.

On Monday, Remande, who had traveled from Egypt to France with her husband Raphael to watch the Ryder Cup, said no one issued a warning that the ball was headed for the gallery.
