Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: All right, here with Charley Hull ahead of the 2025 Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G. Couple good finishes the past couple years at this event at Kenwood and now at TPC River's Bend. Can you just talk about what those two golf courses has suited your game over the past couple years?

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, I really enjoyed when we played -- was it two years ago when I lost in the playoff. I thought it was an unbelievable golf course. It really suited my game round there. This golf courses seems a lot more greener this year as well, so it's a little bit more longer I would say it's playing. It's still quite short but it's a very good golf course e.

Q. Last couple times you tee'd it up, a couple T2 finishes. Speak to where your game is right now?

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, feels pretty good. Obviously like I tore a ligament completely in half in my ankle, so that was at a golf tournament after the British Open. I had to pull put. They said it would probably be about nine weeks recovery time but I cut it down to three. I am a little bit sore this week after playing last week.

Obviously I had a good finish. Finished tied second, so looking forward to this week and see how my body keeps up.

Q. And this start and then a start in Hawai'i before heading over to the Asia Swing. Talk about what you're working on heading into that and International Crown.

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, obviously playing this week and then still up in the air whether I'm going to play Hawai'i or not. I've got something wrong with my back as well at the minute where I tore my muscle about two months ago and I've got some cysts growing on my spine. I feel like a 12-hour flight to LA and then a five-hour flight there could do me more harm than good, get there and not play. We'll try to assess it over the next few weeks.

Yeah, looking forward to International Crown. I am looking forward to Korea. I'm really looking forward to them events and the end of the season as well. Be good fun.

Q. Going to be on the World Team at International Crown. First time.

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah.

Q. Have you talked to any teammates?

CHARLEY HULL: No, haven't even looked who is on the team, to be fair. I'll just rock up that week and play some golf.

Q. You dealt with so many physical challenges and setbacks this year.

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah.

Q. What has been the toughest part of the season for you?

CHARLEY HULL: I feel like it's just come at the wrong time when I'm like playing well. Obviously fainted at Evian and hurt by back after that when I was lifting a box into my car, and then like tore the muscle.

And then obviously tearing the ligament in my ankle, so it's just gone one after another. Playing pretty decent golf, touch wood, and it's just come at like an awkward point as well and you just want to play loads of golf.

But it's life and at the end of the day I'm still breathing, so I'm fine.

Q. Have you thought at all about taking time away to try to rest and fully recuperate?

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, I did like on them three, four weeks I took off. Get bored though. I think it's actually boring to be sat on the sofa doing sweet nothing, do you know what I mean? I always like to be doing something, and the golf course is place that I'm meant to be.

Q. What are you doing this week to keep your back from becoming a bigger problems?

CHARLEY HULL: Loads and loads of physio and rehab stuff, and then all my rehab stuff with my ankle and all my rehab stuff for back. So that's about it really. Got a facial yesterday and get my nails done this afternoon.

Q. Does it physically hurt when you're swinging the golf club?

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, today it hurt. It's just a lot of golf last week and then straight into this week. But pain is only a bloody weakness of the mind, so I'll be all right.

THE MODERATOR: Perfect. That's it.
