Charley Hull motivated by new boyfriend bet as she takes outright lead at The ANNIKA

Charley Hull has revealed she had a bet with her new boyfriend earlier this week that every five birdies she makes at this week's LPGA Tour event they will extend their upcoming holiday by an extra day. 

The bet seems to have paid instant dividends for Hull so far this week as he she's made 12 birdies already this week en route to hitting top of the leaderboard thru 36 holes.

She will apparently head off to a European destination with her boyfriend after next week's season-ending CME Group Tour Championship. 

Hull, 28, has opened with rounds of 64 and 66 to move to 10-under par heading into the weekend. 

The English superstar leads by two shots over runaway World No.1 Nelly Korda. 

This week's tournament marks the last regular season event on the LPGA Tour for 2024.

"I actually had a bet with my boyfriend... every five birdies I make we have an extra day on our holiday," revealed Hull after hitting the front. 

"So I was trying to make 10 birdies. Hopefully I'll have more over the weekend and I have a two-week holiday at the end of the year."

Hull's boyfriend is unknown at the moment.

She was previously dating Gaz Beadle from Geordie Shore. 

Hull was married to MMA fighter Ozzie Smith but that ended in divorce in 2019.

Hull is looking to land her LPGA Tour hat-trick this week.

She is winless on the LPGA Tour since October 2022 when she won the Volunteers of America Classic.

Hull did, however, win on her last start on the Ladies European Tour at the Aramco Team Series Riyadh. 

That marked his first victory around the world in more than two years. 

Hull was forced to have physio treatment during the first round due to a hip injury. 

Korda, on the other hand, is seeking a seventh title on the LPGA Tour in 2024.

She was last week confirmed as the LPGA Tour's Rolex Player of the Year.

Korda was also confirmed this month as SI Swimsuit's newest athlete for 2025.
