Hull scores rare birdie on opening par-5; sets stage for final round
Hull’s dream-like start saw the English professional make history with a 12-foot eagle putt on the par-five first hole, turning two strokes into one during a record-breaking final day of the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open. The shot, which left spectators in awe, follows previous rounds of steady play, including a 68 in the opening round that placed Hull among the tournament leaders heading into Friday’s final stretch. Sources close to the athlete reveal she credits meticulous pre-shot routines and the role of intense focus during the pressure-filled day.
“Putting can break you or build you,” Hull noted in a post-round interview. “That putt felt like a culmination of everything I’ve worked for.”
Champions like Jin Young Ko and Rose Zhang celebrated Hull’s impressive performance, with Ko stating, “We’re seeing fresh talent rise.”
