"I'm pretty proud of myself" - Charley Hull sets sights on capturing her first major title at the 2023 AIG Women's Open       

Charley Hull is tied for first place at the 2023 AIG Women's Open with Lilia Vu after a third-round 68. This week, the Englishwoman hopes to win her first major championship after shooting a four-under-par round of 68 on Saturday to move to the top of the leaderboard.

Despite the unfavorable weather conditions on Saturday, Hull played well enough to take a one-stroke lead over Hyo Joo Kim and Angel Yin. Her best finish at the competition came in 2014 when she finished 12th place. Charley Hull hopes to build on it with a victory in this week's major.

Speaking about her performance in the third round, Hull explained via Golf Monthly:

"Obviously it was so windy today, but we dug deep. I struck the ball pretty well. I was pretty confident and felt good out there, and I'm pretty proud of myself, so can't wait to get back in the bath and just chill tonight. Another late tee time tomorrow, I think it's 3.00, is it, so have the whole afternoon."

If Charley Hull wins this week, she will be the ninth English golfer to clinch the trophy of the Women's British Open.
