Charley Hull, world No 5, has turned late‑night dreams of missed majors into fuel for a breakthrough. Five runner‑ups, including four in the last four years, keep her on the edge of a maiden title. The Englishwoman finished second to Lilia Vu at the 2023 AIG Women’s Open, then to Miyu Yamashita in 2025, and just a shot behind Nelly Korda at the US Women’s Open.

Hull faces a fresh chance at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship this week, today, with the Evian and AIG Open still ahead. She admits the pressure makes her over‑think, saying dreams replay her near‑misses. “I feel like I can beat anyone when I play my best,” she told the Sky Sports Golf podcast, but nerves linger.

Brits remember Georgia Hall’s 2023 victory at Royal Lytham; Hull hopes to add a third British winner. Facing Nelly Korda, the world No 1, Hull says confidence is key. “If I cross the line and feel confident, nothing stops me,” she notes. The KPMG event could finally tilt her record and settle a decade‑long quest for a major title now.
