Charley Hull Faces Challenge from 60-Year-Old Golf Legend: Wholesome Face-Off Eases Tensions Amid Disadvantage

.

In a mere 24 hours, the twelve best golfers from America and Europe will come face to face for the biennial Solheim Cup. This time, the Europeans will be outsiders at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club and looking to win the prestigious cup for the fourth time in a row. The competitive spirits are high in Team Europe and their intense practice has started. Taking part in it is the 3-time LET winner Charley Hull.

As the fitness freak that the Kettering native is, she has hit the gym and tested her stamina. But this time, Hull had a much better player as her rival. A recent Instagram story by the 2-time LPGA Tour winner shows her running on a treadmill as fast as she could and right beside her was the 45-time Ladies European Tour winner, Dame Laura Davies. The 60-year-old has taken a spot on Suzann Pettersen’s team as a vice-captain, this will be the third year in a row that Davies will be a VC for Team Europe.

Her expertise worked enough for the Europeans to retain the Solheim Cup last year, and she is not coming slow this season too. Hull revealed that she and the 60-year-old pro decided to hit the gym together, but the veteran has kept with Hull’s intense workout. While the young pro was tackling the treadmill, Davies was keeping pace with her on the Smart Bike. This impressive speed led Hull to jokingly say, “Damo and I working hard in the gym this morning… showing me how it’s done.”
