Charley Hull admits she is still not at 100%, two weeks after being stretchered off the course during the early stages of the Evian Championship in France.
Hull was 12 holes into her first round at Evian Resort Golf Club when she began to really struggle, needing to sit down before hitting a bunker shot and then later collapsing twice in quick succession.
