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.
