Charley Hull feels win ‘just around the corner’ as she prepares for Aramco Team Series – Riyadh, live on Sky Sports

Charley Hull feels a win is “just around the corner” as she looks to end a two-year title drought.

The Englishwoman, ranked 15th in the world, has not claimed a tournament victory since the Volunteers of America Classic in October 2022 but has finished runner-up on six occasions since across the LPGA and Ladies European Tours.

Hull also defeated world No 1 Nelly Korda in her singles match at the Solheim Cup in September.

The 28-year-old will tee it up live on Sky Sportsthis week in the Aramco Team Series event in Riyadh, after finishing in a share for 12th place at the Maybank Championship in Thailand on Sunday.

Hull has been dealing with a shoulder problem this season but said: “My injury is fine now. It took about a month to get over. I’m all good.

I feel like I’ve had a pretty good season, pretty consistent. I’ve had a few top-10s. Pretty much every week I’ve been inside the top 20. I feel like a win is just around the corner.”

Alison Lee is the defending champion in Riyadh after storming to an eight-stroke victory over Carlota Ciganda last year, with the American shooting 29 under for the tournament.

Hull added: “It’s a very scorable golf course. It’s good for the confidence because you can make loads of birdies out there.

“It was very impressive from Alison last year – 29 under over three rounds. Wow, that was pretty crazy!

“I just love hitting golf shots and love playing golf. I feel comfortable on this course and I enjoy it here in Saudi Arabia.

“I actually really like the food here a lot as well. I’ve been downtown in Riyadh a few times and it’s really cool. There is lots of stuff to do.”
