Charley Hull Takes Break to ‘Pamper’ Herself After Falling Agonizingly Short of Yet Another LPGA Title

They know the greens, they know the breaks, but golf has a mind of its own. It makes close defeats more hard to watch. Sometimes, even the most promising golfers lose the game.

The same goes for Charley Hull, who is currently the subject of several hot topics after her last-minute defeat at the latest HSBC Women’s World Championship. In case you are unaware of this defeat, let us quickly walk you through it. Hull was only one shot behind Lydia Ko when the final round of the event began. But by the time the day came to a close, her hopes vanished with a disappointing 74. It was six strokes behind Ko. Hull finished at the 4th. This was close.

There were divided reactions to this, as always is the case with Hull. But Hull? Ever the most graceful and confident one, she took to social media to show that she was doing just fine. What did she do right after returning home? Well, run! And she informed her fans of the same, saying “Oh, it’s good to be home.” But that was the start of her updates. We have got her latest one. The younger golfer once again took to social media and shared a clip in her story, having recently applied a hair mask.

The caption reads, “Fresh hair now hair mask on and let it dry in. Pamper day complete ❤️.” Well, looks like her giving so much attention to her mental and physical health is paying off.

It also showed off in her statement after HSBC concluded as well. Charley Hull said in her Instagram post, “Not the finish I wanted today, but as always a fantastic event at HSBC. Thanks for all the great local support. Always a pleasure to play with Lydia Ko and congrats on another impressive win.” While congratulations are certainly in tow for the young Lydia Ko, this isn’t the first time Hull has faced such close call to defeat.

Charley Hull and the curse of close defeats

The case of Charley Hull and close defeats in LPGA and more go way back. Although we don’t want to dig into the past, think back to her missing bronze medal in the women’s Olympic golf competition way back in 2016. Inbee Park took home the win; she finished on 16 under par, 5 shots clear of Lydia Ko. But even then, Hull was happy and satisfied with her finishes. Hull had said, “I played pretty decent,” adding that her first Olympic experience was fantastic.

However, that wasn’t the end. Since the first example was an old one, let’s take a look at the recent one. No, not the HSBC one. We know what happened there. But from the Founders Cup. Though it wasn’t a close call, she tied for 19th. But if you want to go back to 2024, we have The ANNIKA. Then, Korda began the final round one stroke behind Hull and then fell behind early Sunday. But with a string of five birdies, she took over and claimed the win.
