“It's just a game” - Charley Hull underplays golf round while dubbing ‘overthinking’ a ‘trouble’ with many golfers

Charley Hull opened up about her performance at the 2025 Kroger Queen City Championship. The English golfer returned to play on the LPGA Tour after her outing in July. At this week's event, which started on Thursday, she is in contention for the title.

In the post-round press conference on Saturday, Hull was asked about her game plans and what was going on in her mind while taking a shot on the slopes. In response, she said, via ASAP Sports:

"I don't even think like that in depth. I just hit a ball and find it and hit it again, you know what I mean? I think that's the trouble with many golfers, overthinking. It's just a game. Hit a white ball at the pin. Make a birdie or make a par, make a bogey, whatever, just roll on to the next hole."

Charley Hull is leading the Kroger Queen City Championship ahead of its finale on Sunday, Sept. 14. She is looking forward to breaking a three-year winless streak on the LPGA Tour.

Hull had won two tournaments on the circuit, and the last one came in 2022 at the Volunteers of America Classic. She was close to winning the Kroger Queen City Championship in 2023 but lost to a birdie on the second playoff hole to Australian golfer Minjee Lee.

In the post-round press conference on Saturday, Hull opened up about her plans to celebrate by having her "fish tacos." She said, via aforementioned source:

"I just feel pretty chilled out there to be fair. Just kind of not even thinking about tomorrow. Looking forward to my fish tacos later tonight."

Hull further talked about her final round preparations and said:

"I don't know. I just feel pretty chill going into the week. I've out some good work in while I was home, or the work I could do, and I just feel relaxed."

Charley Hull finished in a tie for second place at last week's Ladies European Tour event, the Aramco Houston Championship, and would be hoping to win this week. Jeeno Thitikul settled in second place after three rounds of the LPGA Tour event, while Chisato Iwai tied with Miyu Yamashita in third place.
