Charley Hull Battles Sickness and Exhaustion to Set Personal Record at HSBC Women’s World Championship—Medical Team Shares Urgent Health Update!
Charley Hull Pushes Through Illness to Stay in Contention
Despite feeling unwell before the third round of the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore, Charley Hull delivered an outstanding performance. Struggling with sickness and vomiting earlier in the day, the English golfer refused to let her condition hold her back. Not only did she compete, but she also set a personal record, proving her resilience on the LPGA Tour.
Hull shot an impressive four-under 68, securing second place and positioning herself just one stroke behind leader Lydia Ko heading into the final round. Even with oppressive heat and high humidity levels, she found the strength to keep herself in the fight for the title at Sentosa Golf Club.
Pushing Her Limits: Running, Training, and Competing While Sick
Hull’s dedication to fitness is well known, and even feeling under the weather didn’t stop her from maintaining her rigorous routine. She started her day by throwing up but still managed to complete a personal best in a 5K run, finishing in 26 minutes—knocking 30 seconds off her previous record.
“I woke up this morning and actually was sick. I threw up, then I got my head together,” Hull shared. “Then I went for my run, set a new personal best, and felt good going into my round. I just went out on the course and played golf.”
Hull is committed to a demanding fitness schedule, which includes weight training and long-distance running. She began the week with a 12-hour flight to Singapore, immediately followed by an 11K run upon arrival. The next day, she completed another 10K run, demonstrating her dedication to both golf and endurance training.
Medical Update: Was It Food Poisoning or a Viral Illness?
After her impressive performance, Hull addressed concerns about her health, explaining that her illness wasn’t food-related. “It was just a little bug, I’m fine,” she reassured reporters.
