Charley Hull goes wire-to-wire to win second LET title in Abu Dhabi

What happened at the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open?

She had to wait almost five years, but Charley Hull has her second Ladies European Tour title.

It was the perfect start to the year for Hull, who showed her class to close out the tournament in which she was the hunted from the very start.

The World No. 24, whose previous LET title came at the 2014 Lalla Meryam Cup, showed that she has the capability to cope with the pressure of leading the field as she shot a brilliant three-under 69 to secure the win with a score of 8-under par, one clear of Norwegian Marianne Skarpnord.

And she did it in style, too. Just watch this bunker shot at 18:

After her win, Hull said: “Hopefully I can get a few more wins this year and I’ve been practising really hard so it shows that my hard work is paying off.”
