2 Aug
Summary
- Charley Hull mounted a remarkable comeback after a difficult start.

- Home favorites Hull and Woad are chasing major success at Royal Lytham.
Charley Hull delivered a spectacular third-round performance at the AIG Women's Open, significantly improving her position despite an early stumble. After an initial struggle with three bogeys in her first six holes, Hull rallied with crucial birdies, ultimately posting a level-par 71. This resilience placed her within five strokes of the current leader, Yealimi Noh, heading into the final round at Royal Lytham & St Annes.
Hull expressed pride in her comeback, acknowledging her initial difficult play but emphasizing her satisfaction with the finish. Having secured multiple runner-up positions in majors, including recent strong showings at this event, she aims to draw on that experience for an elusive victory. Hull plans to approach the final day with enjoyment and confidence in her swing, focusing on trusting her abilities.
Fellow English golfer Lottie Woad also made strides, carding a one-under 70 to move within striking distance of the leaders. Woad, with prior top-10 finishes at this championship, is also in contention for a home victory. She plans to stick to her game plan, acknowledging the challenging conditions, particularly the strong winds, that made the course demanding, especially on the back nine.
