The LPGA Tour is heading into the end of the season, with the Ohio State’s Kroger Queens City champion with a $2 million tournament wallet and the winner’s prize of $300,000.
British golfer Charley Hull won her third LPGA Tour victory, her first since 2022.
Despite the 29-year-old shooting behind the back near the final game, he stood out in the world’s No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul and overall scored 20 wins with a two-foot birdie putt.
England’s Lottie Woad was third in the Under-18 years old, and Japan’s Miyu Yamashita took a fourth further shot.
“I’m not really watching her putting for the birdie because I thought she had stuffed it,” Hull said.
“I think I didn’t end until the Fat Lady sang, but I kept shaking that putter because I didn’t expect it. But, yes, it felt great.”
Charley Hull has achieved roller coaster success
Hull has finished second in the past two games, still recovering from tearing his ankle ligament after falling off the roadside of the parking lot and being hit by the virus in August.
“Obviously, I completely tore half of my ligament in my ankle, so it was in the after-British Open golf game,” Hull said earlier in the week. “I had to pull [out]. They said it might be about nine weeks of recovery time, but I lowered it to three. After the game last week, I was a little hurt this week.
“Obviously, when I lifted the box to my car and then tear the muscles, it obviously fainted in my back.
“And then obviously, tear open the ligaments of my ankle, so it’s one after another. Playing beautiful golf balls, touching the wood, it’s also like an awkward point, you just want to play a lot of golf balls. But, it’s a lifetime, and by the end of the day, I’m still breathing, so I’m fine.
“When I was young, if I fell my dad, would you break anything? No? Then stand up. Then I would think, yes, yes.”
