Blind Israeli golfer Zohar Sharon is an international champion after having won his first title in the 2003 World Invitational blind golf tournament in Scotland and four more contests since, NBC News reported.
Sharon began losing his sight at 25 after a chemical accident while he was serving in Israel's military.
His wife's divorce lawyer later helped inspire him to play golf and he now plays 10 hours a day.
"You learn when you fall and have to get up — this is what golf teaches me," he said.
