Is Charley Hull's victory overshadowed by her hilarious camel encounter on the course?

The 2024 season has finally opened up for Charley Hull. She grabbed her first season victory at the Aramco Team Series a few hours ago in Riyadh. Hull carded an 18-under on Saturday, defeated Nicole Broch Estrup by a whopping three strokes, and broke her non-win curse after two years. The last time she won was at the 2022 Volunteers of America.

But that was different from what stole the attention of the golf community. The letgolf took to their official Instagram account and shared a video that demonstrated snippets of the course after the trophy and prize money was distributed among the players. Charley Hull stood with her trophy watching all the camels on the course being handled by the people on the course, While she was calm and composed, there was someone who turned out to be scared for his life.

Her Australian caddie Adam Woodward, got frightened seeing so many camels together. He immediately bolted away from the course as the LPGA Tour star watched him. Well, this is not it for the Camel story.

One of the camels would not leave the course. While Hull was posing with her trophy, the camel came into the frame and was present in full size in almost every photograph Hull took. The letgolf in the caption wrote in jest, Not your usual trophy shot problems 😅”.

Turns out more than Charley Hull winning the trophy at the Riyadh Golf Club, it was how she handled the camels in front of her that took the golf community in awe.

The golf community was dazzled to see Charley Hull’s composure

What’s your perspective on:

Is Charley Hull's victory overshadowed by her hilarious camel encounter on the course?

Have an interesting take?

Before the video was posted by the Letgolf, Gabriella Partington, the Sky Sports anchor took to her official Instagram account and shared a picture standing next to Charley Hull with the trophy. Hull reshared it, and that was when the golf fans noticed that a camel stood behind them, photobombing the picture. But, it was as if that was a regular event for the LPGA Tour star. 

Taking to this, one of them wrote, “@charley.hull is unflappable! 😂”

Her caddie running off was the funniest moment in the video and that granted a lot of laughs to the golf community. One of them took to that and commented, “I see the caddie ran off 😂”. On the other hand, Charley Hull has always shown how calm she can get, no matter how tumultuous the surroundings are.

Take the 2016 Ricoh Women’s British Open for instance. She maintained her composure despite the intense pressure of competing on home soil. She finished tied for 4th, showcasing her ability to focus and perform at a high level in front of a large crowd. Taking to this, one of them wrote, “How chilled is @charley.hull – I know that the LPGA has many awesome golfers but I love the character of CH…. – we want to see players who have that sparkle in their way! 👏👏👏👏”.

Along with the trophy, Charley Hull also got to take home a whopping $69,190.50 by winning the 2024 Aramco Team Series on Saturday. Taking to the picture one of them made a joke and wrote, Did she win a camel too? 😂” While another simply commented, “👏👏👏 Charley is just the best. Giving a camel a photo op.. 🔥🔥❤️❤️”
