carted off 12 holes<\/a> into her opening round of the LPGA\u2019s fourth of five majors after twice collapsing.<\/p>\nFeeling \u201c80%” better Wednesday at Dundonald Links in Ayrshire, Scotland, Hull described in detail what transpired in France:<\/p>\n
\u201cI was feeling really rough on the Monday and I was being sick all day because I flew home after Ireland. And then Tuesday I woke up and I still wasn\u2019t feeling very well. I had a practice round and I was just so tired. All my bones was aching in my body, and I had a really high temperature,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the next day I played the pro-am and I soldiered through the pro-am, because I didn\u2019t want to let my pro-am team down. But I felt really rough, and all my bones was aching still.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I woke up the next morning on Thursday and I woke up in the morning and I felt really dizzy, cold sweats, had no energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got through about 12 holes, and I was actually playing really solid golf. And then I teed off on the back nine. So it was on the third hole of the golf course, which was my 12th hole, I felt really dizzy and I was in the bunker hitting a fairway shot and I had to sit down for a minute because my eyesight went and my hearing went \u2014 and I don\u2019t know if anyone has ever fainted before, but your eyesight goes and then your hearing goes, and then it goes all muffled.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I sat down, got up, hit my bunker shot, actually nearly made birdie. Walked to the next tee, called the medics, and then before I hit my tee shot, my eyesight went again, my hearing went, and then my knees gave away and I, like, collapsed and fainted. And then I got back up, hit my tee shot. Felt like \u2014 sit down, I was thinking, I\u2019ve only got six holes left. I\u2019ve got some birdie holes. Like, just finish the day, get to 3 or 4 under and I\u2019m sound.<\/p>\n
\u201cWalked off the tee box, 20 yards off, I don\u2019t even remember anything. My caddie said my eyes rolled to the back of my head and I was out for over a minute. And the security guard and the medic caught me just before I was about to hit my head on a concrete slab. So I was out for a minute.<\/p>\n
\u201d… when I woke up from fainting I felt, like, I come out of a really nice deep sleep. Like, I felt really nice. I was like, oh, this feels good. I\u2019m, like, that\u2019s not my bedroom. I see birds above me and about 15 people around me and I was like, where the f** am I? Oh, sorry. Didn\u2019t mean to swear. Sorry. But yeah, that\u2019s what I see when it happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hull said her agent asked new LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler if Hull could finish her opening round later in the day but that, as Hull knew it would be, was denied.<\/p>\n
A major part of Hull\u2019s recovery has been rest, which means she hasn\u2019t been able to workout the last two weeks and can\u2019t do so for two more.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t like sitting still,\u201d she said. \u201cDrives me bonkers, not being able to go to the gym. I\u2019ve been chilling and practicing. I\u2019ve still been practicing pretty hard. I\u2019m not one to just do something. So just twiddling my thumbs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hull will at least get back to competition Thursday, alongside world No. 1 Nelly Korda and Lottie Woad, who nearly won the Evian in her final start as an amateur and is making her professional debut this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably won\u2019t see me strolling 30 yards ahead of everyone like I usually do,\u201d Hull said. \u201cProbably be 30 yards behind everyone, but I\u2019ll get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charley Hull is competing in this week\u2019s ISPS Handa Women\u2019s Scottish Open, her first start since withdrawing from…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":86771,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[1430,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-86770","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114904321415526304","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86770\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
