LPGA Tour. Class recognizes class

Charley Hull (25), from England had just arrived from playing the 2021 LPGA Women’s Scottish Open at Dumbarnie Links, in Fife, Scotland. Hull could not have been more consistent as she played four rounds of -3 (69) in a row, to finish T5 with a total of -12, and $46,478 more to her career earnings. Charley began playing with her father at Kettering Golf Club. She left school aged 13 to be home schooled, and started playing in amateur tournaments. She had her rookie year in 2015, when she only missed one cut, and she plans on continuing to compete with the best in the world. She is currently T34 in the Rolex Ranking, after she moved up 4 positions last weekend.

During the Women’s Scottish Open, Hull was tied for the leader with a total of -9 after the third round. However, Ryann O’Toole, from USA, signed a crazy final round of -8 (64) to win the tournament. O’Toole is currently ranked T71 in the Rolex Ranking, after she improved in 40 positions in Scotland. Golf is unpredictable and every shot makes a difference. Today, Charley Hull shared the victory of her mate O’Toole, recognizing the great work of hers and looking forward to come back to the course next weekend, or “the office” as she likes to call it, to compete at the 2021 AIG Women’s Open Championship, in Carnoustie Golf Links, Scotland, from August 19-22.

Quick Quotes

Q. How was the LPGA pro debut right down the street from your hometown?

OLIVIA MEHAFFEY: Yeah, if I could choose any tournament to have my LPGA debut, I don’t think I could pick a better one. I had my family, friends, my sponsor, so many people that mean a lot to me this week, and walking down 18 was very special for me.

As debuts go, I think this was a pretty good one.

Q. On the course game-wise looked like you figured some things out and turned in an overall good performance. How do you feel about the way you played?

OLIVIA MEHAFFEY: Yeah, it was really good. I had a really bad practice round on Monday and I texted my coach and I’m like, I’ve had the worst practice round of my life. Help me now.

And it was just kind of mentally we worked through it, and that’s why it’s so nice to have such an experienced caddie. He’s been on the European Tour, LPGA for so long. He really kept me calm.

We were here on Wednesday and played a little 5-4 match, which was cool, and that’s one of the unique things about this event.

Pretty happy with it overall.

Q. Who’s the caddie and who is the coach?

OLIVIA MEHAFFEY: Gary du Plooy and Jorge Parada.

Q. He works with Carlota.

OLIVIA MEHAFFEY: Carlota, Giulia, he helps Ryann, too.

Q. Q-School in two, three weeks?

OLIVIA MEHAFFEY: Yes.

Q. What does the travel plan and game plan look like to prepare for that?

OLIVIA MEHAFFEY: Going to spend another week at home. Always try to get a little bit of time here when I can, and head back to Arizona and practice for a week and head out to Palm Springs.

Q. Get adjusted to the heat?

OLIVIA MEHAFFEY: Get used to the heat again.
