Charley Hull reveals reason behind getting physio mid-round at The Annika, admits being ‘kind of lazy’

**Charley Hull Opens Up About Mid-Round Physiotherapy at The Annika Championship**
Charley Hull, the talented English golfer, addressed her need for physiotherapy during her round at the 2024 Annika Championship driven by Gainbridge at Pelican in Belleair, Florida.

Hull, tied for the lead after an impressive 6-under 64 on the first day, revealed that lingering hip pain and recent physical inactivity prompted her to seek treatment. Speaking candidly during a press conference, Hull admitted to being “kind of lazy” about maintaining her physiotherapy routine, which led to cramps and discomfort during play.

She explained, “I’ve always had bad hips. I haven’t had any physio for two weeks, and it just caught up with me.” Despite her challenges, Hull powered through the pain, showing remarkable resilience on the course.

Hull’s performance was a testament to her skill and determination. She recorded seven birdies and just one bogey in her opening round, starting strong with a birdie on the 10th hole and adding three more on the back nine. Reflecting on her round, Hull said, “I felt like I played pretty solid.

Apart from a silly bogey, I didn’t leave much out there.” Her score tied her with Jiwon Jeon for the lead, with other top players, including Gemma Dryburgh and Nelly Korda, close behind. As the tournament progresses, Hull’s ability to manage her physical condition while maintaining her high level of play will undoubtedly be a focal point for fans and competitors alike.
