Charley Hull was seen using a kinesiology tape on the back of her neck at the 2023 Solheim Cup. Team Europe's captain Suzann Pettersen cleared that the 27-year-old is absolutely fine and "not injured".

However, while speaking to Golf Channel's Amy Rogers, the 27-year-old golfer shared she is facing some back pain and playing through the pain.

"I actually picked up my tour bag last week and that kind of started it and then I've done it from sleeping as well on the plane over here. It's been pretty sore, I'm not gonna lie. I've kind of had to change my swing a little bit to kind of turn through it," Hull said.

Charley Hull shared that she had been playing with 70-80 percent fitness and is in constant pain. She also shared that she would be taking a week off after the 2023 Solheim Cup.

Later on, she will be seen at the Volunteers of America Classic in the first week of October in hopes of defending her title.
