British golfer Charley Hull forced to withdraw from tournament after collapsing twice

Medical personnel tended to the women's world No. 19 golfer after she fell to the ground. Hull was not able to hit her tee short.

However, tournament officials did allow the trailing group of competitors to play through while Hull received assistance.

The medical attention resulted in a roughly 15-minute delay. Hull was able to regroup and did ultimately hit her tee shot, but her recovery was short-lived. Moments after finishing her swing, Hull fell to the grass again. 

Hull was eventually helped onto a cart and was placed on a stretcher. It was later reported that the 29-year-old had recently been dealing with a virus.

She ended the competition in a tie for second place that year. Hull finished in a tie for 12th place in this year's Open.
