Charley Hull has ruthlessly called for the players to be stripped of their
They have been repeatedly found guilty of slow play. Hull had a disappointing final day at Annika on Sunday, finishing in a tie for second place behind world number one Nelly Korda.
The 28-year-old started Sunday one stroke better than her opponent but could only manage a one-stroke-per-par 71 as Korda shot a 67 to win by three strokes. But the near miss wasn’t the only disappointment for Hull afterwards – the Solheim Cup star was also upset about having to wait for her playing partner.

She was forced to complete her third lap in complete darkness and was visibly annoyed when she walked off on the 18th. And she refused to blame the problem with the second finish, but Hal did not break her words after the tournament.
“It’s interesting,” she said. “I’m sorry to the fans that I was so slow. I stayed five hours and 40 minutes in the third round. We play in a four ball at home on a hard golf course and we’re round in three and a half, four hours. It is pretty crazy.”
She then called for more stringent sanctions, adding: “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it\’s a two shot penalty. If you have three of them you lose your Tour card instantly.
Tournament winner Nelly Korda was also critical of the slow play. “I’m sure a lot of people would panic and they wouldn’t want to lose their business cards. It would kill slow play, but they (the LPGA) would never do that.”
Korda also criticized what happened on Saturday, saying: I think it was a bit of bad planning to start so late for us. When you’re sitting on the 18th and the sun’s already set, I mean, it’s never pretty.
