10 laughter quotas, Insightful Charley Hull – only from this week

Charley Hull is leading Croger Championship Queen City going to the last round of Sunday. She is following her third career victory LPGA Tour – and her first since 2022. It would be appropriate if she finished; She has played her way to world No. 8 and she has accumulated the latest trips to quarrel, including back contestants in her last two beginnings. It will also not be easy, with world No.1 Jeeno Thitikul a shot back and no. 2 nelly k the cord two shots part of a crowded package.

But it is not just the 68-65-67 rounds that have turned their heads into cincinnati. Also also the whole of Hull’s approach – to golf, in life, in pressure, in competition – that has led to laughter in the press room, in adoration from outside ropes, and in a general sense that probably has everything he has understood.

Hull is always a stop of appearance on the germ. A bonus of its leadership: More trips to the press room. Let us buzz through some of its most visible moments this week.

1. “(My game) feels quite good. Of course I was tearing a ligament completely half in my ankle, so it was on a golf tournament after British Open. I had to retire. They said it would probably be the time of recovery about nine weeks – but I trimmed it in three. I am a little hurt this week after I play last week.”

This is a roller in itself. Hull made what?! Cutting a nine -week to three weeks recovery talks about Hull’s determination, her love for her general competition and impatience.

2. “Still up in the air whether to play hawai’i or not. I’ve got something wrong with my back too, at the minute where I torn my muscles about two months ago and got some cysts growing up on my back. I feel like a 12-hour flight to LA and then a five-hour flight there could not do more harm than well. next. ”

Oh, just a backpack, a torn leg ligament and some cysts growing on your back? It looks like a flight to Hawaii from England should not be big, a?

3. “No, I haven’t even seen who is in the team, be right. I will simply grow that week and play a golf.”

Hull had mentioned that she was looking forward to the international event of the LPGA crown; A reporter had followed to ask if she would talk to a teammate. Safe to say Hull has not been holding close attention to the qualifying points.

4. “Of course faded in Evian and hurt my back after that when I was raising a box in my car, and then like, tore my muscles. And then obviously torn the ligament on my ankle, so it’s just gone one after the other. Playing quite good golf, touch the wood, and is just a strange point, and you just want to play golf.

“But it’s life and at the end of the day I’m still breathing, so I’m fine.”

Hull’s had many things that are happening. But “I’m still breathing, so I’m fine” is a hell of a way to see things.

5. “(I rest in them) Three, four weeks I got up. However, I think it’s actually boring to sit on the sofa doing anything sweet, do you know what I mean? I always like to do something, and the golf course is the place I’m supposed to be.”

One of the special things about hull is that although she describes herself as easily upset, she is obsessed with what some would consider the most tedious sport in the world. This is an attractive quality when most of your fans feel the same way.

6. “Yes, today it hurts. Just a lot of golf last week and then to this week. But the pain is just a bloody weakness of the mind, so I will be okay.”

Hull is a lot of things, but “weak” is not one of them.

7. “When I was younger if I were to fall on my dad would always be,” You break anything? No? Well just stay again then. “I would be like, ‘yes, real’. As a child – I’ve always been like that.

Hull has seemed to play the better the more damaged he has received; She appreciates getting a head challenge.

8. “Yes, I love it. I just like to be in the golf course. I just enjoy playing well golf. It’s not a daily job for me. It’s not a job. Just there love loving life, and I can’t expect to make some birds during the weekend.”

Hull delivered this after a start 68-65. It is always interesting to try to trace the motivations for the best players – and it’s good to hear that Hull is so good because of her love for the game.

9. “I just feel cold enough there to be right. Just a kind not thinking about tomorrow. I look forward to my fish tacot later tonight.”

Hull owns a lead with a blow that goes for Sunday. Kind what kind of pressure does she feel? Not many, so far, she says. At least, this is what she would like the world to think about. But seriously, what is her mindset by lighting the pins on the weekend?

10. “I don’t even think, like, that depth. I just hit a ball and found it and hit it again, you know what I mean? I think that’s trouble with many players, getting upside down.

“Just just a game. Hit a white ball on the pin. Make a bird or make a time, make a bang, whatever, just roll in the next hole.”

So says the philosopher hull. We will see if she comes out the winner on Sunday. And we will see what she says after the round.
