Charley Hull doubles down on caddie prank after strong start to Women’s Open

Charley Hull is keeping her focus on the course despite continued fallout from a viral prank. The English golfer recently played a trick on her long-time caddie, Adam Woodward, involving a fake scratchcard for 100,000 pounds. While some critics labeled the stunt cruel, Hull remains unbothered by the backlash.

Hull finished her second round at the Women’s Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes with a 71. She dismissed the negativity surrounding her sense of humor, stating that those who take issue with the joke should move on. According to Hull, Woodward enjoyed the prank and the two share a close bond that outsiders fail to understand.

The professional athlete is currently five strokes off the lead as she seeks her first major championship. Despite a short night of sleep, she showcased her skills on the greens, including a notable bunker shot on the 17th hole that landed in the cup. Hull emphasized that she is in the spotlight, and she accepts that public commentary is part of the job.

Looking ahead, Hull aims to continue her performance as the tournament progresses. She remains well-positioned in a field that is currently led by Shiho Kuwaki. With her eyes set on the trophy, Hull seems prepared to handle any further pressure from both the media and the course conditions as the tournament heads into its final stages.
