Charley Hull sets the pace in Arizona with 63 to lead LPGA’s Ford Championship
- On Thursday at Whirlwind Golf Club, Charley Hull shot a bogey-free 9-under 63 in the opening round of the Ford Championship, giving her a one-shot lead over Nanna Koertz Madsen.
- Hull's impressive round was attributed to her strong performance with her driver, although she admitted she wasn't sure what to expect going into the round.

- In addition to her golf performance, Hull has set a goal for 2025 to run a 5K in under 20 minutes and has a $10,000 bet with fellow pro Ryan Evans that she will quit smoking.
