Charley Hull's struggles continue as fellow countrywoman Lottie Woad also has a disappointing start to the AIG Women's Open

English golfer Charley Hull is participating in the 2025 AIG Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl. She made a few mistakes initially, resulting in a disappointing first round. Rising star Lottie Woad, who recently won the Scottish Open at Dundonald Links, also suffered a somewhat similar fate and had a disappointing first round at the AIG Women's Open.

After a somewhat disappointing T21 at the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open, Charley Hull finished with a score of 1-over 73 in the first round of the Women's Open. She started her round with a par on the first hole. Then things got tough. She made a double bogey on the second and a bogey on the third hole, moving to 3-over early in the round. She made a birdie on the sixth hole, followed by two more birdies on the seventh and eighth. On the par-5 ninth, she made her fourth birdie in a row, which brought her back to 1-under. She finished the front nine with a strong 35.

On the back nine, Charley Hull made a par on the 10th. Then she hit a birdie on the 11th hole, going to 2-under for the round. Hull registered pars on the 12th and the 13th hole but made a bogey on the par-4 14th. That dropped her to 1-under. Three more bogeys came on the 15th, 16th, and 17th, and Hull finished with a birdie on the 18th. Her back nine total was 38.

On the other hand, Lottie Woad finished her first round at the AIG Women’s Open with an even-par 72. She started well with a birdie on the first hole. After a par on the second, she made a bogey on the third to fall back to even par. She kept things steady with par on the fourth but registered a bogey on the fifth, but a birdie on the sixth moved her to even-par again. Woad closed it out with three consecutive pars on the seventh, eighth, and ninth holes to move to even-par 36.

On the back nine, she opened with a par on the 10th and then made a bogey on the 11th to go back to 1-over. She held steady through the 12th and 13th with pars. A birdie on the par-4 14th brought her back to even. But she gave the shot back with a bogey on the 15th. She made pars on 16 and 17, then birdied the par-5 18th to finish the round at even par. Woad carded 36 on both the front and back nines for a total score of 72. With that, let's look at both of these gofers' scorecards.
