Charley Hull's fierce battle against World No. 1 Jeeno Thitkul earned her the Kroger Queen City Championship last Sunday. This victory for Hull also meant that she ended a nearly three-year winless streak on the LPGA Tour, which in many ways had become a major point of discussion.
After the victory, Hull spoke about the feelings she experienced leading up to her final shot that sealed her win. The 3-time LPGA Tour winner revealed that initially she was calm, but later felt a "mad shock of adrenaline." She also went on to pose an interesting Tiger Woods question.
Charley Hull said (via BBC):
"I was pretty calm coming into the green. I knew I had to hole the putt for eagle, I missed it and had a foot. When I realised I had it for the win, I had this mad shock of adrenaline come through me, and my hands were shaking. I was like 'oh, no!' Usually I can calm it down in like five minutes, but I had to play straight away. I had to back off it twice. I don't know how Tiger Woods won that many tournaments; that much pressure. It was just a shock."
Throughout his career, Tiger Woods was known to soak huge amounts of pressure and rise to the occasion when it mattered the most. Woods' ability to deal with pressure also explains why he has won 15 Major championships and 82 PGA Tour events.
