Charley Hull insists she is not bothered by the lack of attention on her ahead of the AIG Women’s Open, but has been frustrated by her fitness in the build-up to the final major of the year.
Hull was forced to withdraw from the Evian Championship earlier this month after collapsing mid-round with a virus, with the two-time major runner-up still not back to 100 per cent for last week’s ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open.
The world No 20 has had hopes of an English major victory pinned on her in recent seasons, but has seen that expectation switch to Lottie Woad, who made a winning start to her professional career with an impressive victory in Scotland.

Woad’s success follows her winning the KPMG Women’s Irish Open as an amateur and finishing tied-third at the Evian Championship, with Hull proud of her rapid rise to the top of the women’s game.
“Listen, I think what Lottie Woad has done is absolutely unbelievable,” Hull said. “I played with her in the practice rounds in Ireland and I played with her in the first two rounds last week. At the minute, I feel like she’s playing with such confidence she can’t miss a shot.
