Golfer Charley Hull reveals she is suffering from degenerative arthritis before Open

Published

Charley Hull has revealed that she is suffering from degenerative arthiritis in her shoulder as the English golfer eyes success at the Women’s Open at St Andrews.

The 28-year-old fell short in last year’s competition after being pipped by American Lilia Vu, who produced a brilliant final-round 67 to clinch victory at Walton Heath.

Ranked tenth in the world, Hull begins her campaign on Thursday in a group consisting of defending champion Vu and world number one Nelly Korda.

Hull comes into the competition on the back of a tied 27th-place finish at the Olympics having started slowly at Paris 2024 with a first-round 81.

It came having sustained a shoulder injury after slipping in the show, forcing Hull to withdraw from the Aramco Team Series.

But despite also having been diagnosed with arthritis, Hull insists she is “ready to go” at St Andrews after finishing fifth at the Scottish Open last week.
