Hull Closes Gap at 2025 Women's Open Wales

Charley Hull surged into contention at the 2025 AIG Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl with a superb six-under-par 66 in the third round, moving from 11 shots behind to just three off the lead held by Miyu Yamashita. Hull recorded seven birdies, including five on the front nine, and overcame recent health setbacks that forced her withdrawal from the Evian Championship. Her aggressive play and determination have positioned her strongly for a potential first major title. A near-miss occurred when Hull's tee shot narrowly avoided Minjee Lee. Georgia Hall, Mimi Rhodes, and Lottie Woad are also in the top ten, marking a strong performance for British players. Nelly Korda struggled with a two-over 74, leaving her even after three rounds and out of immediate contention.
