One of the top ranked golfer’s had to be taken away on a stretcher after an “unnerving situation” unfolded mid-round.

The Kettering golfer had sat down inside a bunker on the third hole after appearing unwell, before collapsing on the fourth tee.

Hull tried to persist with her round after a 15-minute medical break but collapsed once more following her tee shot.

She was one under through 12 holes when she decided to withdraw from the tournament.

Expressing her frustration at pulling out, Hull could be heard saying: “I was playing pretty well but I feel faint”.

Hull had to be taken away on a stretcher.

While she also claimed she was struggling with her eyesight. Hull had reportedly been suffering with a virus for two days.

The Times suggest that several others in the field, including the Swedish US Open champion, Maja Stark, and the Swiss player, Chiara Tamburlini, have also suffered from a virus in the build up to the tournament.

Hull’s withdrawal ends her hopes of a maiden major victory, having finished T12 at both the US Women’s Open and KPMG Women’s PGA Championship over the past month.

She also forfeits any available prize money, with a nearly $12.3m purse up for grabs at Evian Resort Golf Club this week.

Hull’s collapse was described as a “very unnerving situation” by broadcaster Richard Kaufman.

The 29-year-old has amassed a strong social media following.

Hull has turned heads with her unconventional approach to golf in recent times.

The Solheim Cup star has claimed to not use a yardage book and is often seen smoking cigarettes on the course.

When asked about her training regimen recently, Hull revealed that she has been focused on a completely different sport rather than her swing.

She told Sky Sports: “My main goal actually isn’t on the golf course.

“I want to try and get my 5k run time down to 20 minutes by the end of the year. It’s around 26 minutes at the moment.

“I don’t train in golf. I have zero interest in training in golf. I don’t want to just be a golfer.

“I want to be an athlete. I train because it’s good for my mental health and it’s good for me. I just enjoy it as a hobby.”
