CHARLEY HULL admitted winning the AIG Women’s Open at St Andrews would be “very special” ahead of the first round which begins on Thursday.

The 28-year-old fell short in last year’s competition after being pipped by American Lilia Vu, who produced a brilliant final-round 67 to clinch victory at Walton Heath.

This year St Andrews will stage the competition for the third time in its history and is a course that Hull described as giving her “goosebumps.”
