English golfer Charley Hull has identified impatience as her biggest weakness during competition, a challenge she believes affects her focus. Speaking on August 10 in an “Ask Charley Hull Anything” session hosted by the PIF Global series, Hull described how impatience often leads her to feel bored and rush shots, which she is actively working to improve.
Hull elaborated on her struggle, saying,
“My biggest weakness of my golf game is I’m pretty impatient, so I can get very bored out there, and I just want to hit the next shot before anyone so I just need to stay in the moment a bit more. And I’ve done pretty well doing that last week at the British Open.”
Her comments came in the aftermath of a strong performance at the 2025 AIG Women’s Open, held at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in Wales, where she finished tied for second place.
During the tournament, Hull posted rounds of 73 and improved on the second day to position herself well going into the weekend. She then delivered a standout third round with a 66, followed by a solid 69 in the final round. Her total score of 279 set her at nine-under par, just two strokes behind the event winner, Miyu Yamashita.
Injury Forces Hull to Withdraw from PIF London Championship
Hull‘s momentum was halted when she had to pull out of the PIF London Championship held at the Centurion Club in Hertfordshire due to an ankle injury. After undergoing an MRI scan, it was confirmed that she suffered ligament damage from a non-serious accident off the course. The 29-year-old anticipated playing in front of her home crowd from Friday through Sunday but instead limited her event participation to meeting fans and signing autographs.
Despite her disappointment, Hull remained supportive of the tournament and expressed regret over missing the opportunity to compete at home. She addressed her followers on Instagram, stating,
“Gutted to say I’ve had to withdraw from the PIF London Championship this week. Picked up some ankle ligament damage after a ( non-serious) accident off the course. Nothing major, but the docs say I’ve got to rest or I’ll make it worse. Absolutely gutted not to be playing at home, especially at an event like this. It means so much to me, and I’m really sorry to the fans coming out and to my sponsors, especially Golf Saudi. Hopefully, I’ll still get to meet some of you over the weekend.”
Season Overview and Future Prospects for Hull
This season, Hull has encountered several near wins, participating in 12 LPGA Tour events with two finishes inside the top 10. Her focus on combating impatience on the course aligns with her goal of converting strong performances into victories. Recovering from her recent ankle injury will be crucial as she prepares for upcoming tournaments, where maintaining composure will be key to her success.
Hull’s openness about her challenges and recent form highlight her commitment to growth amid a competitive field. Fans and sponsors alike will be watching closely as she works to overcome setbacks and build on her impressive showings, especially after her runner-up finish at the British Open in Wales.
