Dame Laura Davies believes a major breakthrough for Charley Hull “has to happen” after her impressive Solheim Cup performance and dominant victory over world No 1 Nelly Korda.
The Englishwoman partnered rookie Esther Henseleit to a final-hole victory in the Saturday foursomes and also teamed up with close friend Georgia Hall that day to win her fourballs match, reducing Europe’s deficit to 10-6 heading into the Sunday singles.
Hull demolished Korda 6&4 in the top match to give Suzann Pettersen’s side a dream start to the final day, where Europe threatened a historic victory before Team USA held on for a 15.5-12.5 win and first Solheim Cup success since 2017.
The world No 12 finished as Europe’s top scorer with three points from five matches and Davies, who served as vice-captain, was impressed with Hull’s display, believing she has the game to challenge for major success in the years ahead.
“I can’t believe she’s not already [a major champion], as she’s so talented,” Davies told Sky Sports News. “It’s not easy to win major championships, we all know that, but that’s what we’d hope for her because she’s that good.
