Golf-'Pied Piper of Woburn' Hull eclipsing world number one Ko (Reuters)

WOBURN, England, July 29 (Reuters) - British number one Charley Hull looked like the 'Pied Piper of Woburn' as she treated her fans to another sparkling exhibition of golf to move into contention at the Ricoh Women's British Open on Friday.

The 20-year-old, who is playing at her home course this week, delighted family, friends and a host of local schoolchildren in the crowd by firing a two-under 70 in the second round that included a run of five birdies in six holes from the seventh.

Four-times major winner Rory McIlroy caused controversy during the men's British Open at Royal Troon two weeks ago when he said "I didn't get into golf to get other people in the game".
