Christiaan Bezuidenhout, a renowned South African golf player, is the winner of the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters and Alfred Dunhill Championship in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The player almost died when he was two years old after drinking rat poison from a Coke bottle he picked on the street, thinking it had the Coke soft drink. The poison affected his nervous system and left him with a stuttering effect.
Bezuidenhout encountered severe anxiety, suffered from depression, and became introverted because of the stuttering effect, but therapy built his confidence and helped him overcome those challenges. The golfer failed the doping test in 2015 because he was on medication. The ban was reduced to nine months after a petition, and the drug test also revealed that he was using anxiety and stuttering drugs and not illegal drugs or substances. He plays in the Europeans Tour, and he won the Andalucia Masters after beating the world’s eleventh best golfer, Jon Rahm, in the 2017 Europeans Tour.
