Charley Hull's campaign in the Amundi Evian Championship took a drastic turn after only four holes. She collapsed twice while attempting to take a tee shot on her fourth hole during the opening day. Reportedly, the cause of Hull's collapse was suspected to be a viral infection. While the situation was serious, fans didn't hold back in roasting Hull on the internet.

Charley Hull, placed 19th in the Rolex Women's Golf Rankings, was 1-under par when she fainted and required immediate medical assistance. Later, the game was delayed for 15 minutes, but she collapsed again and was taken off the course, causing her to withdraw from the competition. Her teammates continued their game after she was carried off.

On July 10, Golf Digest shared an Instagram photo reporting Charley Hull's withdrawal from the tournament. The caption on this post said:
