Team GB’s Georgia Hall and Charley Hull endured a difficult first day of the women’s Olympic golf at Le Golf National.

Hull carded a nine-over 81 to sit 58th of 60 competitors, while Hall’s 74 left her tied for 30th at two over par.

There is no cut in the event, so neither is danger of going out of the tournament, but they are well adrift of leader Celine Boutier after the first of four rounds.

France’s Boutier is seven under par after her 65, three shots clear of South Africa’s Ashleigh Buhai.

Reigning champion Nelly Korda, of the USA, recovered from a poor start to finish at even par, seven strokes behind Boutier and tied for 13th overall.

“It’s true that it’s nice to be able to post a good first round, and [I’m] super-positive for the rest of the week,” said Boutier, who became the first Frenchwoman to win a major on home soil at the 2023 Evian Championship.

“The first round doesn’t mean much – there are still three days left, it’s a lot of golf [and] so much can happen.”

Charley Hull is taking the world by storm as she gains more fans for being unapologetically herself. She continues to be one of the most relatable ladies on the LPGA, which draws in many eyes.

Who knew her smoking cigarettes would make her a fan favorite? Granted, she plays good golf and is incredibly talented, but she still does not act like anyone else.

Ahead of the Solheim Cup, Hull borrowed a fan’s lighter during a practice session to smoke again. It led to her thinking about why so many people like her.

“Well, I’m just myself. I — I’m myself. If I like things, I like it for myself,” Hull said. “If other people don’t like it, well, it’s not their life. I love me. I live my life the way I want to live it, not how anyone else wants me to live it. I live like a normal person.”

“Girls, when a man goes to the store to buy a shirt, does he pick up the old one on the floor that’s been tried on and wrinkled? Or does he want a shirt straight out of the package, all nice and clean?”
