LONDON: Charley Hull conjured up a great golfing comeback as she recovered from a 10 on the front nine to go on to take a share of the individual lead — and also help lift her team to the top — after a rain-drenched round one at Centurion Club.
The English star, who finished tied-second in the US Women’s Open last week, looked to have wrecked her chances of success at the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF — London when she recorded a quintuple bogey at the sixth hole.
She lost two balls on the par-5 but came back in stunning style. Hull made six birdies in her closing seven holes before signing for a five-under-par 68 that left her atop the leaderboard, alongside Nelly Korda, at the Ladies European Tour-sanctioned event.
Hull’s birdie blitz was part of a brilliant scoring spree from her quartet that comprised of Isabella Deilert, Hayley Davis and England former ace Teddy Sheringham.
