Charley Hull women's golf developments

Entities: Charley Hull · Adam Woodward · Georgia Hall · AIG Women’s Open · Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club

Overview

In late July 2026, English golfer Charley Hull experienced a dramatic on‑course setback at the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open, posting a quadruple bogey on the par‑5 fifth hole after multiple chips and a nine‑stroke finish. Within days, Hull shifted focus to the upcoming AIG Women’s Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes, where she staged a light‑hearted prank by placing a fake £100,000 lottery ticket in the players’ lounge, briefly convincing her long‑time caddie Adam Woodward that he had won. The incidents highlight Hull’s challenging play on links courses and her efforts to stay mentally engaged ahead of major championships.
