Ted Tryba
Ted Tryba (born January 15, 1967) is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour. Tryba was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He played at Ohio State University. When he was four years old, he lost the sight in his left eye as the result of a freak accident. "I was standing in my yard on a windy day watching a big branch fall out of a tree. It got on me quick and hit me in the eye." All he could do was learn to adjust to his vision handicap . "I really had no big adjustments to make," he said. "If there is such a thing as a lucky accident, I guess that was it. If it had happened when I was a teenager or in my 20s, I may have had some problems. I see things a little different than everybody else. Sometimes it makes it difficult to do things, but I've never used it as a crutch." Tryba has two victories on PGA Tour and three on the Nationwide Tour. His best finish in a major is T31 at the 1999 PGA Championship. He has featured in  the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings. He last entered a PGA Tour event in 2013 and has not made a cut on tour since 2005. Tryba lives in Orlando, Florida. Tryba joined The Golf Channel as an analyst in October 2007.
