SO SAD ; “My hips always sit open”: Charley Hull details her biggest physical setback after a devastating Injury

Charley Hull has to do some unique workouts in order to keep up as
one of the world’s best golfers. Fresh off an appearance – and a quality
one at that – at the 2024 Solheim Cup, she detailed one of the things
she has to do to help keep a personal issue from affecting her golf
game

Hull’s trainer shared that she makes her do the hip workouts despite her
disdain because it “levels her hips off at impact.” The trainer added that
Hull struggled with her hips when she first signed on, to which Hull
responded:

“So I had an injury when I was 17. I fell down a wet step. Ever since
then, my hips always sit open. I have a lot of physio on them all the
time and these Bulgarian split squats help me keep them on, which is
very important for me and my golf swing

The English golfer said she has no hip rotation in her backswing
because of how they sit, and that these squats help keep them in the right place so her backswing works effectively. Charley Hull revealed
that she still doesn’t have as much rotation as others and that she still
doesn’t like the workout.
However, it does seem to be making an impact; Hull is the 12th-ranked
golfer in the world and a two-time LPGA Tour winner.

Dame Laura Davies praises Charley Hull’s
epic Solheim Cup

Charley Hull wasn’t able to lead the Europeans to victory and retain the
trophy in the Solheim Cup, but she was able to defeat Nelly Korda in
singles. Hull was matched up with the World No. 1 and she came
through, and Dame Laura Davies was impressedShe said via Sky Sports: “I can’t believe she’s not already [a major champion], as she’s so
talented. It’s not easy to win major championships, we all know that,
but that’s what we’d hope for her because she’s that good.”
Davies believes Hull needs to win more tournaments and put herself in
winning situations more often. She said she knows Hull does this often,
especially in Majors, citing the US Women’s Open and the AIG Women’s
Open last year, but believes a breakthrough “has to happen” eventually.

She has been superb this week. She turned up, she has been great
fun and has been keeping us all entertained, but then she produced on
the course as well – you can’t ask for more as a team-mate than that.”
Davies said there’s no intimidating Korda and that Team Europe knew
that, but they had supreme confidence in Hull going out to compete
with her head-to-head. She called Hull’s overall outing “magnificent.”
