Charley Hull gave the golf world a scare on Thursday during the opening round of the Amundi Evian Championship when she collapsed twice on the fourth tee. The English star withdrew from the competition and was taken off the golf course in a medical cart.

Broadcast host Richard Kaufman noted that Hull had been suffering from a virus and that it had all caught up with her. By Thursday evening, after an IV, a nap and some food, Hull's agent told Golfweek that she was already on the mend.

On Friday morning, Hull posted on Instagram, thanking medics and noting that she's "feeling a lot better today, just gutted I can't play the weekend at such a fantastic tournament."

Currently No. 19 in the world, Hull placed T-12 in her last two starts on the LPGA – both major championships – and finished fourth last week at the KPMG Women's Irish Open.

South Korea's Somi Lee, who recently partnered with Jin Hee Im to win the Dow Championship, currently holds the clubhouse lead at the LPGA's third major of the season at 10 under par. World No. 1 Nelly Korda trails by five in France.
