Hull experienced winning at Turnberry ... at 9 years old

TURNBERRY, Scotland – England’s Charley Hull didn’t play the Ricoh Women’s British Open when it was staged at Turnberry in 2002, but she knows what it’s like to win on the course.

She was 9 when she whipped the adult trying to beat her in a playoff in the final of a British/Irish amateur event.

“She was like 35,” Hull said.

Hull, 19, remembers some of that week, but it won’t help her tactically this week.

“I’m taking completely different lines,” Hull said.

Back then, Hull said she hit her drives about 130 yards.
