Hull ready to play after struggling with asthma, illness

GURNEE, Ill. – Charley Hull got a round of applause when she arrived at the range Saturday morning to get ready to rejoin her English teammates at the UL International Crown after missing Friday’s fourballs due to illness surrounding an asthma attack.

Hull, 20, reported she’s ready to join Mel Reid again in Saturday morning’s fourball match against Thailand.

Hull also said she has struggled more with asthma since being required to undergo Olympic drug testing almost two years ago in preparation for the Games in Rio. Under Olympic protocols, Hull said she had to go off the inhalant she had been on since childhood because of the steroid in it.
