After going viral for smoking on the golf course at the US Women’s Open earlier this year, Charley Hull now fears that strict Olympic rules at the Paris 2024 Games will hinder her chances at featuring on the podium this summer.
Team GB’s star women’s golfer is currently participating in round two of the event today. However, while smoking would seem an obvious boundary in a global competition as prestigious as the Olympic Games, the 28-year-old has said that lighting up a cigarette helps her deal with ADHD, which then helps her control the high-pressure situations her event places her in.
All this comes after her Olympic golf gold medal bid got off to the worst possible start on Wednesday morning. She hit her first tee shot in round one into the water at Le Golf National as she began her bid to improve on her seventh place finish at Rio 2016.
Things did not improve for the Brit after her nightmare start as she fell to the bottom of the leaderboard through 13 holes with a mammoth score of eight over par.
