Charley Hull is well known for her utter disdain for slow play.

So it was no surprise that she found it hard going during the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on day three.

Hull is one of the best golfers on the LPGA Tour.

And she is extremely outspoken when it comes to the issue of slow play on tour.

Hull was criticised heavily during the US Open last month when she kept walking to the next tee box when her playing partners hadn’t even finished the previous hole.

The problem for the 29-year-old is that nowadays, professional golf is always accompanied by tediously slow play.

So she will have to get used to it, if she is ever to succeed in a major championship.

Charley Hull comments on pace of play at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship

Hull is currently sitting inside the top-20 at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, after shooting a round of one-over par 73 on day three at PGA Frisco at Fields Ranch East.

After her round, she spoke to the media, and was asked about the pace of play during the third round.

And Hull labelled the fact that she and her playing partner took over three hours to play nine holes as ‘crazy’.

She said: “Yeh it was pretty crazy. We were playing two-balls this morning and it took us three hours and 10 minutes to play nine holes which was pretty crazy. We play a four-ball at home in like three hours, with buggies and stuff. But at the end of the day it’s a pretty tough golf course, it’s really windy, and the setup is pretty tricky, so you can’t really expect anything else.“

Three hours and 10 minutes to play nine holes really is ridiculous.

However, as Hull said, the wind and the difficulty of the setup at PGA Frisco made a quick round almost impossible.

Charley Hull needs to find a coping mechanism for slow play

When the pace of play gets tediously slow, Hull is always visibly frustrated.

The fact that she gets so irate with slow play does her no favours whatsoever.

Don’t get me wrong, it is incredibly hard to maintain your rhythm when you’re a quick player and rounds are taking anywhere between five and six hours to play.

However, if Hull is to succeed and break her major duck, it’s just something she will have to learn to cope with.

However, whether she is able to do that or not remains to be seen.
