Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Charley Hull is with us now at the 2026 KPMG Women's PGA Championship. Charley, welcome to Hazeltine and your 12th appearance in this championship. How's the week been so far, and what do you think of the golf course?

CHARLEY HULL: It's been good. I got here on Sunday, Sunday evening, and the golf course is really good. I felt like playing out here on Monday the greens were pretty quick. Usually in a major week they kind of just get them quicker as the week goes on, but I felt like it's been pretty much quick from the get go.

Q. What did you learn -- I guess few practice round so far. What have you learned or remember differently from last time you were here?

CHARLEY HULL: I remember last time -- I don't remember too much, but I remember last time being quite wet, and now it's actually quite dry here. Like the greens seem kind of a bit more -- not burnt out, but a little bit more crusty to them than it was last time.

It's a good golf course. The back nine is very challenging, has some very challenging holes.

Q. I know you were pretty open at Riviera about that finish there. How have you maybe mentally reset after Riv?

CHARLEY HULL: When I went to Gleneagles Tuesday morning after I got back and played some golf, I was pretty tired. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty tired at the end of last week. I feel like I've just recovered more.

We went up to Lytham. Me and my friend Ryan and I played Lytham last Monday, and that was pretty cool. Just played some rounds of golf. The weather has been very hot at home, a lot hotter than it is here.

Q. How are you motivated coming into majors?

CHARLEY HULL: I'm motivated coming into majors. I just want to go out there and have fun and make some birdies.

Q. Is this a golf course that you feel suits your aggressive Charley style of golf?

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, I think it is. I think it is a challenging golf course, and there's birdie opportunities out there. Also, you've got the very difficult irons this week because it's narrow greens.

Q. I saw you gave some love to Mel Reid yesterday. Can you just speak to that and your relationship? I saw the Melvin on your Instagram story.

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, I was howling. I think she was doing -- she was on the chipping green with the commissioner, and he hit a good chip. And then Melvin went across and hit a chip and she ducked it, and it was just the funniest thing ever.

Q. What did you text her?

CHARLEY HULL: I just put it on my Instagram with laughing faces.

Q. Charley, what part of your game has improved the most in the last few years? You've had a pretty good stretch in the last year at the end of the year and then the first majors of this year.

CHARLEY HULL: I'd say probably my all around game has gotten good. Even when I have a few bad holes, I can just bounce back from it. And just staying more patient, and if I have a bad round I don't mentally think, oh, I'm out of this. I just kind of think like, oh, just (audio interruption.) Back

Q. Yeah, kind of on that same note, three major top tens in your last three starts there. Besides playing better, are you doing anything differently? Different preparation, different mindset, anything like that?

CHARLEY HULL: No, not really. Just feel like I've played plenty of golf and just really up for the majors.

Q. I was wondering do you have any memories of the Ryder Cup here in '16?

CHARLEY HULL: No, I can't really remember, no. I think my question about did Rory hole a putt on 17 or something yesterday? I can barely remember when I was back here in 2019, let alone 2016.

Q. I'm assuming you're watching the World Cup. I wanted to get your analysis so far of the English team.

CHARLEY HULL: I'm not going to lie, I've not watched one round yet. I've not watched one game of football yet. I've actually been busy. I've just had like little bits and bobs. I watch scores online.

Q. So no analysis?

CHARLEY HULL: No.

Q. How are you using the experience at Riviera as fuel?

CHARLEY HULL: Just got to use it as like positivity really. Feel good, feel refreshed, and ready to go again.

Q. How critical are these weeks off? This is such a massive stretch for us. How critical are these weeks at home?

CHARLEY HULL: Absolutely. Still about rest and recovery and still getting enough practice in but not burning yourself out. After this week, it's nice I'll be back at home in the UK until September time, so that's good.
