Charley Hull Powers into Contention at Women’s Open 2025
So, here’s what’s unfolding at the AIG Women’s Open 2025—Charley Hull is making waves and suddenly, this championship is wide open again. After starting the day a massive 11 shots behind, Hull came out on Saturday like a woman on a mission and carded a brilliant six-under-par 66 at Royal Porthcawl. That’s moved her into a tie for fourth, just three shots off the lead. What’s more impressive? That 66 ties her lowest round ever at a Women’s Open.
Miyu Yamashita, who had led by three at the halfway mark, had a bit of a rough day. She stumbled through a two-over 74, which drastically cut her cushion. At one point, she had only one player within six strokes of her—now, there are more than twenty contenders within striking distance heading into Sunday. The leaderboard is officially packed.

Hull’s round was full of momentum—seven birdies, including a run that took her to seven under through 13 holes. Her only slip came on the 14th with a bogey, but she held steady with pars to close out. And the mindset? She’s loving the hunt. In her own words, “I just enjoy chasing. It’s more fun that way.” You can feel her energy. She’s got that fearless, let’s-go-win-it attitude. Even with her recent back problems and the weight loss she endured after being carted off the course at the Evian Championship, Hull’s looking as strong and confident as ever.
And there was a little drama too—one of Hull’s shots early in the round went sailing past Minjee Lee after a wild bounce off some signage. Luckily no harm done, and Hull laughed it off, saying, “I like Minjee, I wouldn’t want to take her out.”
Meanwhile, Yamashita did have a few bright spots, like a 40-foot par save on 17, but overall, her putting went cold and the door has been left wide open. South Korea’s A Lim Kim is just one back at eight under, and Andrea Lee of the U.S. is right there at seven under. Hull’s in a logjam at six under with names like Megan Khang and Rio Takeda.
With rain and wind expected on Sunday, the final round could be a chaotic grind. But one thing’s clear—Charley Hull is in this, and she’s not just happy to be near the top. She’s going for it. “I haven’t got anything to lose, have I?” she said. And she’s right—this could be the moment where all those close calls finally pay off.
