English Star Charley Hull Withdraws From Aramco Team Series Event

English golf star Charley Hull had to withdraw from the Aramco Team Series London at Centurion Club early on the first day of the tournament due to a shoulder injury. Hull played only six holes before making the difficult decision to pull out on medical grounds.

Shoulder Injury Forces Charley Hull To Withdraw

The decision came after Hull consulted with a physiotherapist following ongoing pain in her right shoulder, an injury she later revealed was the result of a “nasty fall” the previous Sunday. She took to social media to express her regret and disappointment: “Today I had to withdraw from [the Aramco Team Series London] following medical advice, due to ongoing pain in my right shoulder following a nasty fall on Sunday night. I’m so disappointed as I always love playing in this series, particularly in front of a home crowd.”

Hull also apologized to her fans, teammates, and the event organizers, expressing her sorrow for having to leave the competition prematurely. “Sorry to the fans who came out to watch, my playing partners for leaving you after 6 holes, and to all those behind the scenes who work tirelessly to make these events run so well,” she added.

In the tournament, Hull was playing alongside Annabel Dimmock and Christine Wolf. Hull, who was the squad’s captain, had selected her close friend and compatriot Dimmock with the final pick before the tournament, while Austrian golfer Wolf and an amateur player was randomly assigned to complete the team.

Bitten By a Dog: Defending Champion Nelly Korda Cancels Aramco Tournament

There is a rather old joke in editorial circles about trainee training, which is the equivalent of an apprenticeship in the trades – yes, even in journalism you should learn and master the craft from the ground up. In any case, the gag goes like this: “Dog bites man” is not newsworthy; “Man bites dog”, THAT is newsworthy. Exceptions prove the rule, of course. Which brings us to Nelly Korda (25), who has had some eventful times on and off the fairways. Cue thrombosis in her arm, six victories, but recently also three missed cuts in a row and rounds in the 80s at the US Women’s Open and the Women’s PGA Championship, the worst scores of her career to date. Now the world number one has cancelled her participation in the Aramco Team Series event on the Ladies European Tour (LET) this week at the Centurion Club in England (3 to 5 July), where the LIV League celebrated its premiere in 2022. Korda would have been the defending champion after last year’s victory over Lokamatador Charley Hull, but: “I was bitten by a dog in Seattle on Saturday.” That is indeed a news story.

Did a fan jinx the dog bite?

The circumstances of the mishap are not known, neither the location or extent of the injury nor the breed of the dog. Although one prankster has already claimed that Korda’s run of bad luck must have something to do with the puppy he adopted six weeks ago and named Nelly:

This cute little puppy is the reason for Nelly Korda’s downfall.

“I need time to get treatment and fully recover,” Korda wrote on Instagram. “I apologise to the LET, the sponsors and my fans for my absence. Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to returning to the course soon.” After all, the Amundi Evian Championship (11 to 14 July), the fourth major of the season, is coming up next week.
