British golfer Charley Hull withdrew from the Amundi Evian Championship in Évian-les-Bains, France, on Thursday, July 10 after collapsing twice during her first round. The Amundi Evian Championship is one of the LPGA’s five major championship tournaments.
On the third hole, Hull, who played with partners Ruoning Yin and Haeran Ryu, was seen in discomfort and sat down by a fairway bunker.
Before her tee shot on hole No. 4, Hull went down on the grass and immediately received medical attention, while tournament officials allowed the group behind her to continue playing.
Just 15 minutes later, Hull was well enough to hit the tee shot, but after her swing, whe went to the ground again. She was taken off the golf course on a motorized cart with a flatbed stretcher on it.
The 29-year-old Hull, who is ranked No. 19 in the world, was at 1-under through 12 holes after starting play on the back nine.
