Charley Hull has recalled an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during an LPGA<\/a> event in Canada, admitting the incident was entirely of her own making.<\/p>\n

The world number four reflected on the moment from the 2015 Canadian Pacific Women\u2019s Open, where a change in lifestyle and diet led to an awkward on-course situation \u2014 played out in front of live television cameras.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Vanity Index Podcast, <\/a>Hull explained how her habits shifted in her late teens.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so skinny growing up and when I got to about 18 or 19, I started going out drinking cider and I didn\u2019t understand what a hangover was,\u201d Hull said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever I had a hangover, I\u2019d eat loads of unhealthy food and I put on loads of weight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The issue came to a head during one of her early tournaments working with caddie Adam Woodward.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite a strong performance that would eventually see her finish tied seventh, the round took an uncomfortable turn on the 15th hole.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first week of Adam Woodward caddying for me, I think we finished sixth. So we had a good week,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut coming down the 15th hole I hit this shot and one of my trousers was tight for me where I\u2019d put on a bit of weight.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy button flew off as I hit this shot. The cameraman recorded it as the zipper went down as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like \u2018Oh no, this is on live TV.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cameraman has had to radio into the other cameraman to get a little pin so I can pin my trousers together to finish the golf round with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now firmly established among the elite in women\u2019s golf since turning professional in 2013, the 30-year-old English star also offered a candid assessment of the modern game.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of this week’s Chevron Championship, the first ladies major of the season, Hull admitted she rarely watches regular PGA Tour events, favouring the challenge of major championships instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI much prefer that (majors),\u201d Hull said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s the way golf should be. It\u2019s way more interesting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really watch golf, but when I watch the men\u2019s golf I watch the majors and I enjoy it a lot more when they\u2019re struggling on the golf course. I think it\u2019s a lot more fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hull, who now has a clothing deal with Malbon Golf, added that today\u2019s professional game lacks variety, with an over-reliance on power.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s quite boring watching a birdie-fest,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAll you see is hitting a long drive, hitting a wedge on the green and holding a putt.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to see golf be played as an art, like when they have to create shots. I much prefer that. That\u2019s why I preferred golf 20, 30 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
