Charley Hull shares heartfelt promise ahead of U.S. Women’s Open victory bid
Charley Hull shared a heartfelt promise that she will fulfill if she achieves her goal this week and at the U.S. Women's Open. This week, the English player will compete at the 2025 Riviera Maya Open at El Camaleon Golf Course in Mayakoba, Mexico.
In the pre-tournament press conference, Hull was asked what she would do if she achieved her goal this week in Mayakova and next week at the U.S. Women's Open. However, her response wasn't about celebrations or personal rewards, but about family.
"If I achieve my goal this week and at the U.S. Women's Open, I promise that -- oh, I'll buy my new nephew whatever he wants when he's four years old, because my sister gives birth to him Friday of the U.S. Open. Yeah, there you go. I'll get him a really nice present. I already will, but still."
The 2025 U.S. Women's Open will be held at Erin Hills in Erin, Wisconsin, from Thursday, May 22, to Sunday, May 25. Hull, 28, is no stranger to big stages. This will be her 11th start at the tournament.
In 10 starts, she has made eight cuts, having missed in 2016 and 2021. She has had several strong finishes, including two top-10 finishes and six top-25 finishes. Her best performance came in 2023, when she finished as a runner-up to Allisen Corpuz by three strokes.
