Golf talent revealed
Her showed amazing golf talent at an early age. At the age of seven, she defeated a 17-year-old boy and has been widely regarded as a "genius player" since then. Although she missed some normal childhood life when she was young, she now finds a real sense of belonging in the Solheim Cup. She said: "The Solheim Cup makes me feel freer. I like playing in the United States more. The more the audience opposes me, the more I want to prove them wrong."
Her has participated in the Solheim Cup six times and will usher in her seventh campaign this year. She said that although the competition is still intense, she is very much looking forward to pairing with her good friend Georgia Hall and enjoying this special moment. For Hull, golf is not just a sport, but a lifelong partner. Her playing style is relaxed, but she can always show super strong psychological quality when facing pressure.
Determined to promote golf
Her is now one of the most promising golf talents in the UK, and she looks forward to inspiring more people through her success. "If I do well, more young people and women will join golf," she said. "If that's the case, it will be wonderful. Now that golf has joined the Olympics, it is more valued and is no longer defined as a sport for old men like it was 100 years ago."
Hull became the youngest participant in the history of the Solheim Cup this year and helped the European team beat the United States 18-10. She won two of the three games she played in the competition, and her victory over the famous American player Paula Creamer by a big score of 5 holes and 4 holes to play made her shine and become a household name. Hull said: "It's good that I am recognized by more people.
Some people who play golf will tell me that they have done a good job. This feeling is great because it makes people feel that they have influenced and inspired others." Hull also said that her father played an important role in her growth. "I think my success is largely due to my dad because he never stopped me from doing what I wanted to do, and he is not a pushy father who forces his children to learn things."
Hull in life
Hull's game is not limited to the court. Her life philosophy also makes her well-loved off the court. "I will enjoy life as much as I can," she said. "You never know what will happen tomorrow, so enjoy every moment." For the upcoming Solheim Cup, Hull is already prepared for those "hostile" American audiences. As she said: "I like to prove them wrong."
