Charley Hull had a brilliant finish at the recently concluded AIG Women's Open, marking her fourth second-place finish in a major championship. Almost a week later, Hull already has her mind on her next challenge, which happens to be the PIF London Championship of the PIF Global Series.
However, her success at Royal Porthcawl continues to resonate throughout the golf world, leading Hull to speak on the subject during a press conference from the Centurion Club, the venue for this week's Ladies European Tour (LET) event.
The Englishwoman took the opportunity to reveal where the key was for her to recover as she did at the final major of the season and enter the title contention.
"My coach Matt (Belsham), my putting coach Nick (Soto), and I worked very hard that week to get me where I am in my game, so big credit to them," Hull told the reporters. "I was working on getting my hands more forward when putting because they were too far behind the ball. I also had too much wrist in my backswing with my coach on my full shot, so I was eliminating the wrist movement. I was working on staying more grounded through the ball on the way through -- just random things like that."

The truth is those "random things" worked wonders for Hull, who recovered from a first-round 73 at the AIG Women's Open to nearly stage a legendary comeback.
The two-time LPGA Tour winner carded a second-round 71 to make the cut, but at that point was 11 strokes behind leader Miyu Yamashita. However, Hull found her best golf on moving day, carding six birdies and a bogey for a third-round 66, to climb into a tie for fourth.
On the final day, Hull continued to fight, carding five birdies without a bogey until the 15th hole. However, consecutive bogeys on the 16th and 17th meant she couldn't force a playoff with Yamashita, who went on to win the event.
Following that result, Hull will be one of the heavy favorites at the PIF London Championship, where newly crowned World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul and rookie sensation Lottie Woad will also play.

What is Rashawn Slater's Contract? Chargers Lose Star OL for 2025 Season
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Los Angeles Chargers got some devastating news as it was revealed that star offensive lineman Rashawn Slater was lost for the 2025 season. Slater went down during practice on Thursday and had to be carted off the field. Read more: Chargers' Rashawn Slater Carted Off Field With Potentially Serious Injury The scene revolving around Slater described a somber incident, as Slater had to be helped onto a medical cart, while teammates all went to offer their support. Just hours following the news, the Chargers confirmed that he suffered a torn patellar tendon and will miss the entire 2025 season. Rashawn Slater sustained a torn patellar tendon in today's practice and will undergo surgery to repair the injury. He will miss the 2025 season and be placed on Injured Reserve. — Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) August 7, 2025 Losing Slater for the 2025 season is horrible, especially considering he just signed a massive extension with the team. What is Rashawn Slater's Contract? EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 12: Rashawn Slater #70 of the Los Angeles Chargers blocks during mandatory minicamp at The Bolt on June 12, 2025 in El Segundo, California. EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 12: Rashawn Slater #70 of the Los Angeles Chargers blocks during mandatory minicamp at The Bolt on June 12, 2025 in El Segundo, news: Texans' CJ Gardner-Johnson Believed to Have Suffered Torn Achilles Slater signed a four-year, $114 million contract extension with the organization, which included $92 million in guaranteed money. The contract was signed on July 27. The $92 million guaranteed in the contract is the most ever given to an offensive lineman. Slater worked his way into a historic play with elite play that includes two Pro Bowl nods and a Second-team All-Pro nod. Slater was responsible not only for helping to protect quarterback Justin Herbert, but he was also instrumental in helping the run game. The Chargers relied on a run game that wore down opponents in 2024. What Will the Chargers Do Next? The Chargers have some solid offensive linemen on the team who may need to move over. With Joe Alt being the premier left tackle, he may move over to right tackle to make up for losing Slater. Ryan Nelson could be the presumed starting left tackle. Trey Pipkins III might also remain as the team's starting right tackle, leaving Alt to remain on the left side. It would be believed that the Chargers would look into signing some veteran backups, as losing Slater is a massive issue that could affect the team down the line. There are plenty of available free agent offensive linemen that the Chargers could target, or they may wait until teams start trimming their rosters to 53 following the conclusion of training camp, leading to some quality players looking for their next team. The good news is that Slater has $92 million guaranteed on his contract, so he is good for the future, considering the injury and the tough rehab to make it back. The bad news is the Chargers are now at a massive loss. For more on the Chargers and NFL, head to Newsweek Sports.

Aaron Boone Out? Yankees Replacement Rumors Heating Up Amid Losing Stretch
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees have a loaded roster, but they've failed to reach the preseason expectations this year. Rather than finding themselves at the top of the American League East, the Yankees entered Thursday in third place, trailing the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox. Since the All-Star break, the Yankees have struggled, and the skid has fans calling for manager Aaron Boone's job. There are quite a few rumors circulating on who could replace him. FanSided's Christopher Kline recently listed Yankees bench coach Brad Ausmus as a potential candidate to replace Boone if the Yankees opt to fire him. CLEVELAND, OHIO - APRIL 23: (L-R) Bench coach Brad Ausmus #68, Cody Bellinger #35, Aaron Judge #99 and manager Aaron Boone #17 of the New York Yankees watch from the dugout in the ninth inning... CLEVELAND, OHIO - APRIL 23: (L-R) Bench coach Brad Ausmus #68, Cody Bellinger #35, Aaron Judge #99 and manager Aaron Boone #17 of the New York Yankees watch from the dugout in the ninth inning during a game against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on April 23, 2025 in Cleveland, Ohio. More"Ausmus is pretty much your prototypical player-turned-manager," Kline wrote. "He didn't have much success in past stops as the head honcho in Detroit and Anaheim, but he's a former All-Star and Gold Glove catcher with intimate knowledge of how to call a game and quarterback the defense on the field, to the extent any one player can. "The 56-year-old is still fairly early in his coaching journey, all things considered, so the Yankees can view him as a long-term option. His established relationship with Aaron Judge and other New York stars ought to help him — both in the interview process and once he assumes Boone's mantle. Time will tell if Ausmus can succeed with the power of Hal Steinbrenner's checkbook behind him, but he's a perfectly adequate and safe option. The easy pick, so to speak." This would be the easy solution for the Yankees, but it's hard to imagine it works out long-term. Ausmus and Boone work hand in hand to manage the Yankees, so firing Boone to promote Ausmus wouldn't solve any underlying issues. This idea would simply delay the inevitable. If the Yankees are going to move on from Boone, which doesn't seem likely, they would need to bring in a tenured manager who has respect around the league.
