Charley Hull Forced to Relive Nightmare at $2.4 Million LPGA Event, Sparking Sympathy from Golf Community

The nightmare continues for the English golfer! It has been more than 2 years since Charley Hull last won an LPGA Tour event. She nearly broke her losing streak a few hours ago. It seemed that she would until the end of the penultimate round, being only 1 stroke away from Lydia Ko.

But the final round nerves got to her and she went 2-over par 74 to finish 4th in the 2025 HSBC Women’s World Championship. Ko, who is much more familiar with the pressure of the last rounds, kept her cool and secured the win.

Still, it was a tough contest. As Ko herself admitted in her post-win press conference, “Yeah, it’s nerve-wracking but it’s also exciting. It’s not every week we get to contend, and obviously our goal is to be in contention more and more often.”  It’s evident that she too was tense about having Hull breathing down her neck as she was working towards her 23rd LPGA Tour title.

The loss may have been heartbreaking, but that didn’t break Charley Hull‘s spirit. In fact, she shared a post on Instagram sharing her experience in Singapore with her fans. Here’s what she had to say: “Not the finish I wanted today but as always a fantastic event at @hsbcwomensgolf 🔥 Thanks for all the great local support❤️ Always a pleasure to play with @lydsko and congrats on another impressive win.”
