In one of the most unbelievable, nerve-shattering finishes in recent LPGA history, English sensation Charley Hull stunned the golfing world at the 2025 Kroger City Queen Championship with a comeback victory that no one saw coming!
All eyes were on world No. 1 Atthaya Thitikul, the LPGA’s deadliest putter, as she stepped onto the 18th green needing nothing more than a routine short putt to seal the deal. Victory seemed inevitable. Fans, commentators, and even Hull herself believed Thitikul would sink it and lift the trophy.
But then—disaster struck. In a jaw-dropping collapse that left the crowd gasping, Thitikul missed not one, not two, but three putts inside three feet. Her hands visibly shaking, the world’s most reliable putter faltered at the very moment history beckoned. The audience at TPC River’s Bend went silent in disbelief.
Hull, who had battled through injuries, heartbreak, and over 1,077 days without a win, suddenly found herself with an unimaginable chance. With nerves of steel, she drained a simple two-foot putt to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat — claiming her third LPGA title and igniting chaos on the course!
“Honestly, I couldn’t believe it,” Hull admitted, her hands still trembling. “Jeeno played so well… it just shows how brutal this game can be. But after everything I’ve been through the last few years — the injuries, the setbacks — today, luck was finally on my side.”
This wasn’t just another tournament win. It was a career-defining redemption story. Hull, who tore ankle ligaments in a freak fall, injured her back, fainted at the Evian Championship, and battled through a cyst — somehow turned pain into power. While the world counted her out, she stood tall, proving that setbacks can fuel the ultimate comeback.
The win also denied Thitikul a chance at history, as she was set to become the first player to secure multiple LPGA victories this season. Instead, she walked away in silence, declining interviews after her crushing collapse.
Hull’s triumph, sealed with a final-round 68 and a -20 total, brought her not only the $300,000 prize but also a roaring reminder to the golf world: never count her out.
And if her past struggles have taught us anything, it’s this: when Charley Hull plays with nothing to lose, she becomes unstoppable.
⛳️ The Queen City Championship didn’t just crown a champion — it delivered one of the most shocking, dramatic finishes in golf history.
