British golfer Charley Hull withdrew from the opening round of the Amundi Evian Championship on Thursday after collapsing twice on the course. The 29-year-old world No. 19, who began her round on the back nine, was 1-under par through 12 holes when she first showed signs of distress near a bunker on the third hole and then fell again on the fourth-tee grass. Tournament medics treated Hull at the scene, reporting blood-pressure readings of 80/50 consistent with a viral illness that had troubled her for two days. After briefly regaining composure and striking a tee shot, she lost consciousness a second time and was taken away on a stretcher aboard a medical cart. Officials later said she was stable after intravenous fluids but would not continue this week. Hull’s withdrawal ends her latest attempt to claim a maiden major title and interrupts strong recent form that included a solo fourth-place finish at last week’s KPMG Women’s Irish Open. Play at the Evian Resort Golf Club continued with her partners, Ruoning Yin and Haeran Ryu, while early clubhouse leaders moved to six-under par in the LPGA season’s fourth major.
