Charley Hull has tested positive for coronavirus and will miss the season’s second women’s major, the ANA Inspiration, which begins at Mission Hills Country Club in California on Thursday.
The 24-year-old from Kettering is now self-isolating and working with the LPGA Tour on contact tracing.
“I didn’t feel great on Monday, but I put it down to jet lag, the heat and my asthma playing up,” she said. “I now realise I have some mild symptoms which feel similar to having a cold. I am very disappointed to have to withdraw from what is one of my favourite events of the year.”
