Charley Hull Shares Final Take on Loch Ness Monster Ahead of ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open
Charley Hull's Loch Ness opinion: "It doesn't exist, so I think it's neither," ahead of Scottish Open participation.

Charley Hull is ready to begin her 11th event of the 2025 LPGA season at the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open, which will be held from July 24 to July 27 at Dundonald Links. In the lead-up to the tournament, Hull participated in a lighthearted quiz where she was asked whether she believes the Loch Ness monster is male or female, reflecting local Scottish folklore.

The Loch Ness monster, often called ‘Nessie,’ is a legendary creature said to reside in Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. Descriptions typically portray it as a large, long-necked figure with humps emerging from the water, yet its existence remains unconfirmed despite enduring tales.

“I don’t think it exists, so I think it’s neither,” Charley Hull said.

Alongside Hull, several other LPGA players including Kristen Gillman, Dewi Weber, Gemma Dryburgh, Hira Naveed, and Nataliya Guseva shared their views on the myth during the quiz.

Charley Hull’s History and Ambition at Dundonald Links

Hull, who has claimed two LPGA Tour victories and serves as an ambassador for ISPS HANDA, is marking her 10th appearance at the Women’s Scottish Open this year. She finished in fifth place at Dundonald Links last season and aims to surpass that performance this time around.

“I love playing the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open. Dundonald Links is a great host, and staying onsite makes everything so easy for us players. I’ve had a few decent finishes here and had a top 5 last year, so will look to improve on that this summer. I love the challenge of links golf, and it’s extra special for me playing the event as an ambassador of ISPS HANDA,” Hull said earlier. (via LET)

So far in 2025, Hull has made the cut in eight tournaments, with her highest placing being tied for fourth at the HSBC Women’s World Championship. She continues to seek her first victory of the season, currently holding 19th position in the Rolex Rankings and 45th place in the Race to CME Globe standings.
