Golf star Charley Hull relives scary double collapse as quick thinking medic averts disaster
Hull almost cracked her head on a concrete slab as she fainted at the women's Major before being carted off the scene. Charley Hull has lifted the lid on the 'scary' moment when she collapsed twice on course. The English star opened up on the frightening events two weeks ago at the Evian Championship. Hull almost cracked her head on a concrete slab as she fainted at the women's Major before being carted off the scene. The 29-year-old is getting back to herself, but, as she prepared for the start of the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open at Dundonald, she opened up in Ayrshire on the harrowing incident. Hull said: 'It was scary, but it was weird. It was actually quite scary, but at the time, I just wanted to finish my round. So I was gutted that I didn't. But I don't know if anyone ever fainted before. 'When I woke up from fainting I felt like I'd come out of a really nice deep sleep. I felt really nice. I was like: Oh, this feels good. That's not my bedroom. I see birds above me and about 15 people around me and I was like, where the f--- am I? Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to swear. But yeah, that's what I see when it happened. 'I was feeling really rough on the Monday and I was being sick all day because I flew home after Ireland. And then Tuesday I woke up and I still wasn't feeling very well. 'I had a practice round and I was just so tired. All my bones were aching in my body and I had a really high temperature. "Next day I played the Pro-Am and I soldiered through because I didn't want to let my Pro-Am team down. But I felt really rough and all my bones were aching still. 'Then I woke up on Thursday and I felt really dizzy, cold sweats, had no energy. I got through about 12 holes and was actually playing really solid golf. I teed off on the back nine, so third hole of the course, which was my 12th hole, I felt really dizzy and I was in the bunker hitting a fairway shot and I had to sit down for a minute because my eyesight went and my hearing went. "I don't know if anyone has ever fainted before, but your eyesight goes and then your hearing goes and then it goes all muffled. So I sat down, got up, hit my bunker shot, actually nearly made birdie. Walked to the next tee, called the medics and then before I hit my tee shot, my eyesight went again, my hearing went and then my knees gave away and I collapsed and fainted. 'Then I got back up, hit my tee shot. I was thinking, I've only got six holes left. I've got some birdie holes. Just finish the day, get to three-or-four-under and I'm sound. 'Walked off the tee box, 20 yards off, I don't even remember anything. My caddie said my eyes rolled to the back of my head and I was out for over a minute. And the security guard and the medic caught me just before I was about to hit my head on a concrete slab. So I was out for a minute. 'Every time I stood up, I fainted. That's why I had to get a stretcher out, which was quite embarrassing, but there you go. IV drip on me. They took my blood pressure. It was 80/50 which is quite low. My blood sugar was 0.4. I think I just had a really bad virus. 'Then I asked my agent, Vicky, to text the Commissioner saying: Is there any chance Charley can finish her round this evening? Obviously you can't but I was gutted. I just had no energy since then, really. 'I still don't feel a hundred percent now, like, 80 percent. Probably won't see me strolling 30 yards ahead of everyone [this week] like I usually do. Probably be 30 yards behind everyone, but I'll get it done. 'I'm not going to go to the gym for another two weeks. Need my immune system to check up with myself. 'There's a lot of swine flu going around. There's a lot of COVID going around and my cousin actually had COVID and she was in Ireland with me. I've not seen her for two weeks and she started feeling pretty ill and I started feeling pretty ill.'
