'I've Found My Triggers' - Charley Hull On Dealing With ADHD Diagnosis
Charley Hull has revealed she has recently been diagnosed with "severe" attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Charley Hull says she now knows what her triggers are after being diagnosed with "severe" attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The 27-year-old has recently taken time off from the golf course as she struggled mentally, but has now received a diagnosis of ADHD.
Hull says she's had feelings of impatience and even boredom previously on the golf course, but after receiving her diagnosis is now feeling better and learning how to deal with here ADHD.
"I know my triggers now because I've been diagnosed with ADHD, quite severely," Hull told BBC Look East.
"I can understand now why sometimes I get bored on the golf course. I feel a lot better now."
Hull returned from her break with a superb display at the US Women's Open, where she finished second on the iconic Pebble Beach.
That equalled her best finish in a Major and could be a sign of things to come as Hull starts to learn how to deal with her ADHD while playing competitive golf.

"It's the way I think," Hull added. "[It's about] keeping my mind busy and being a bit more patient because I can be very impatient.
"I find it hard to concentrate, but I've found my triggers now, and looking at the views of the ocean last week was pretty good.
This was epic from Charley Hull 👏👏 https://t.co/IH5noyLil0July 10, 2023
"I've actually been playing well since I won last year but I missed a couple of cuts in my previous events.
"I just worked on my swing a bit and got my confidence back, and I feel like I'm swinging it well now."
And with a new coping strategy, Hull will hope to challenge for a maiden Major at the two remaining big events left this season - the Evian Championship and the Women's Open at Walton Heath.
First she's back in the UK playing in the Aramco Team Series event at Centurion Club and happy to be playing back on home soil.
"I'm pretty tired, I haven't had much sleep because of the jetlag, but playing at home is always a priority," Hull said.
"It's not too far from my house either. It's a lot of fun and my dad gets to come and watch as well."
Paul Higham is a sports journalist with over 20 years of experience in covering most major sporting events for both Sky Sports and BBC Sport. He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website. Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
