Overview

  • Hull collapsed twice during the opening round of the Evian Championship due to a severe virus that dropped her blood pressure and blood sugar, leading to an emergency IV drip.
  • Over three weeks off, she lost four kilograms and missed gym sessions while recovering and also dealt with a back injury that delayed her rehab.
  • Hull reported feeling back to normal last Sunday and has since returned to running and strength work ahead of the AIG Women’s Open.
  • She admits her form is not yet at its peak but is determined to leverage her improved health into a first major victory.
  • Hull’s focus on seeing her name on the trophy underscores her competitive drive as she tackles Royal Porthcawl’s links challenges.
