After waiting two years for a victory, Hull has every right to be happy with her performance. Although she was close to winning several times throughout the season, she hadn't managed to achieve what she envisioned until now.
On the final day of the tournament, she made three more birdies, which are great scores on individual holes. These helped her keep a strong lead, even though she had two bogeys; disappointing scores; on the 14th and 17th holes
The 28-year-old Brit continued her impressive form, knowing she was close to reaching this moment. After repeatedly striving for positive results and battling for top positions, some outcomes can be disappointing. However, Hull demonstrated that nothing could stand in her way this time, and her intention is to push even harder as the season progresses. This victory serves as a stepping stone for her, and theres no doubt that her performance will only improve from here.
Charley Hull on the golf course
Before the tournament began, the English golfer expressed her excitement about the golf course, believing she could achieve a great result. She reflected on the impressive performances of some of her peers over the years. The 28-year-old admitted that she aimed to replicate that success and compete with golfers like Alison Lee. The winner of the Aramco Series has never hidden her love for the game, and Saudi Arabia turned out to be a fantastic environment for her.

Charley Hull and smoking
Saudi Arabia has made important strides toward promoting public health by enforcing a comprehensive smoke-free policy. This means that smoking is not allowed in any indoor public spaces, workplaces, or public transport, which includes places like government buildings, hospitals, schools, restaurants, and hotels.
Charley Hull is known for her struggle with smoking addiction, leading many to wonder how the 28-year-old would cope in such strict conditions. While she has opportunities to smoke in designated areas, Hull has openly discussed her battles with asthma and ADHD, finding various ways to manage her stress. It appears that her smoking habit has been one way to cope, but she acknowledges it's not a healthy solution. Recently, she has been exploring new methods to handle stress and aims to encourage other athletes to speak openly about the difficulties they face. Hull wants to promote awareness and understanding of mental health issues in sports.
