‘Need To Seek Some Help’: Unfortunate Setback Befalls Charley Hull Just Days Before $2,000,000 LPGA Team Battle

Team England has suffered a major setback ahead of this week’s Hanwha Lifeplus International Crown with the withdrawal of two of their top players, Charley Hull and Georgia Hall. This news comes as a shock to the English team, who were hoping to build on their impressive performance at the recent JM Eagle LA Championship.

Double blow for team England: Charley Hull and Georgia Hall forced to withdraw

Hull and Hall have cited health issues as the reason for their withdrawal from the prestigious team event, which features the top female golfers from around the world. Hull has been struggling with stomach issues for the past few weeks, while Hall has been battling a foot injury.

Despite the absence of two of their key players, England will still field a competitive team. Jodi Ewart Shadoff and Bronte Law will join substitutes Alice Hewson and Liz Young to represent their country in San Francisco’s TPC Harding Park.

Georgia released the statement, “I’ve been struggling with my foot for past few weeks and inspite of daily physio treatment it’s not improving, so I’ve been advised to take a week off.” And Charlie said, “I’ve been quite sick the past couple of weeks with stomach issues. I was hoping I could play through it but it seems not and I’m going to need to seek some help.”

Hewson and Young may not be as well-known as Hull and Hall, but they have both had success on the Ladies European Tour. Hewson has had an impressive season so far with five top-20 finishes, including a share of second place at the Magical Kenya Ladies Open. Meanwhile, Young won her first LET title last year in her 14th season on the tour, shortly before turning 40.

Despite fielding a competitive team, England’s mentality and ability will be put to the test.

England’s resilience to be tested at Hanwha Lifeplus International crown

Eight countries compete for the championship in the highly regarded team event of women’s golf, the Hanwha Lifeplus International Crown. South Korea won the previous event in 2018 on their home turf. The LPGA schedule packs in events like the International Crown and Solheim Cup in the same year. This puts a lot of pressure on the players, both physically and mentally.

It is unfortunate that Hull and Hall won’t be able to compete for England at this year’s event. However, their health and well-being must come first. The English team will have to adjust their strategy and rally behind their substitutes if they hope to make a serious run at the crown.
