Hull opened up about her condition in the interview, “I know my triggers now because I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, quite severely. I can understand now why sometimes I get bored on the golf course. I feel a lot better now.” 

According to Hull, it is related to how she thinks and her impatient nature, and to cure it she needs to keep her mind busy. Charley also revealed that playing at the ocean-hugging Pebble Beach last week was therapeutic for her. “I find it hard to concentrate, but I’ve found my triggers now, and looking at the views of the ocean last week was pretty good.”
