Charley Hull is poised to make a strong finish to her LPGA Tour season at the CME Group Tour Championship, despite facing several challenges in the lead-up to the event. After overcoming pre-tournament passport issues and illness, Hull was forced to pull out of the pro-am on Wednesday due to feeling unwell.
The Englishwoman's opening-round 68 at Pelican Golf Club in Florida marked a solid start to her week, which she followed up with back-to-back rounds of 67 before firing a bogey-free 63 to charge up the leaderboard.
Hull is now looking forward to returning to Tiburon Golf Club, where she claimed her breakthrough LPGA Tour victory in 2016. The venue has been good to her previously, and Hull is confident that she can build on her recent performances.
"I was in the car and I was like, 'we should go for everything today and just make as many birdies as we can,' try and stalk down Linn Grant," Hull said after her final round. "I just played pretty solid all day."
The CME Group Tour Championship is a highly anticipated event that will see some of the world's top golfers in action, including European stars like Hull, Lottie Woad, and Leona Maguire.
Major winners Miyu Yamashita, Grace Kim, Mao Saigo, Maja Stark, and Linn Grant are also all set to compete.
Jeeno Thitikul will be looking to defend her title, having topped the season-long standings after two wins and 13 top-10 finishes this season.
The winner of the CME Group Tour Championship will receive $4 million, with Hull hoping that a strong finish to the season will secure her spot in the coveted Race to the CME Globe leaderboard.

and I'm still on a high from seeing those geysers erupt 
it's like nature's own fireworks display! Anyway, did you know that my friend's cousin works at a golf course in Scotland and they're getting all fancy with their greens maintenance now? They have to use this special machine that uses artificial intelligence to keep the grass looking perfect 
it's so cool! And speaking of cool, I've been meaning to try out this new coffee shop downtown that serves the most divine cold brew 
️ I think I'll have to sneak in a visit after the golf tournament is over...
Charley Hull is on fire 
after a solid week on the LPGA Tour 
! Despite some early setbacks 
, she bounced back strong 
and now looks like a real contender for the $4m prize 
. I'm rooting for her to bring home that big payday 
! The CME Group Tour Championship always brings out the best in golfers 
, and Jeeno Thitikul is definitely one to watch 
. Will Charley's recent form translate to a strong finish? Fingers crossed 
!
️ right now! she's been through some tough stuff like passport issues and illness but instead of letting it bring her down, she's all about pushing forward 
. and can you believe the field is packed with so many talented golfers? i'm excited to see Jeeno Thitikul defend her title 
. and hey, a $4 million prize is just the cherry on top 
. good luck Charley, go crush it! 
but honestly, it's great that she's bouncing back like this. 68 in the first round is no joke, especially on a tough course like pelican golf club 
. Remember when Tiger Woods was going through his comeback phase? The drama was so thrilling! So, will Charley live up to her 2016 Tiburon victory form? Only time will tell...
... sounds like my aunt at Christmas dinner! Tiburon Golf Club is gonna be a great test for her though - I'm intrigued to see how it plays out.
. Jeeno Thitikul better watch out tho! charley needs that $4 million and the race to cme globe leaderboard spot badly 
. With all these top players competing, including Jeeno Thitikul who's defending her title, it's gonna be a tough competition, but I think Charley is right on track to make a strong finish. Fingers crossed! 
! But she's still managing to crush it on the golf course, and I'm totally rooting for her 
but its great to see her battling back from all those setbacks 
she's got a good track record at tiburon too, so fingers crossed for her 
. And that final round? Bogey-free, what a way to finish 
. She's got this, Charley! Bring on Tiburon Golf Club, let's see some magic happen 
!
