Charley Hull recently shared a hilarious encounter with a fan after a video of her smoking a cigarette during the US Women’s Open went viral. In the video, the world No. 8 was seen signing autographs with a cigarette in her mouth, a moment that quickly spread across social media, with many comparing her to John Daly.
Hull admitted she found the attention amusing but was surprised that such a simple act caused such a stir. She explained that she had been heading to the range with her hands full when she stopped to sign autographs, not thinking twice about the cigarette still in her mouth.
Among the reactions to the viral moment, one fan saw it as an opportunity to shoot his shot. Hull recounted how the fan cleverly handed her his phone number, pretending she had dropped something. He even suggested they make dinner plans. While Hull found the moment funny, she never texted him back. Reflecting on the whirlwind week, she described the experience as “wild,” adding that she wishes the crowds were always this lively.
