Charley Hull Faints During Evian Championship First Round

English golf star Charley Hull fainted during the first round of the major Evian Championship. Hull was quickly taken care of by medical staff and was forced to withdraw from the competition.

Charley Hull had already earlier during the round shown signs of not feeling quite well. On hole 4 – Hull's 13th hole for the day – Hull, according to eyewitnesses, collapsed. After having received a 15-minute long medical break, Hull made a new attempt to play the hole, but then she is said to have collapsed again.

When TT's correspondent arrived at the hole, Charley Hull received care again. After a while, Hull, who was conscious and used her mobile phone, could be driven away lying in a golf cart. She had played her twelve initial holes one stroke under par when the dramatic incident occurred. Afterwards, the organizers announced that Hull had had problems with a viral disease before the competition.

Hull's collapse caused a longer pause at the 13th tee. Maja Stark, who was two balls behind Hull, had to wait a long time before her three-ball could tee off on the hole.
