During the pre-round press conference in Riyadh, Charley Hull made a shocking statement about golf training and called it "rubbish". Earlier, a journalist questioned her about what's her goal for this season, to which she replied:

"It's not really a golf course goal, I wanna try and get my 5K run down to 20 minutes by the end of the year," Hull said while mentioning she is currently at 26 minutes.

Another journalist questioned if her approach to fitness and training is helping with golf, to which she said she doesn't train for golf.

"I don't train for golf," Hull said during the presser. "I have zero interest in training for golf. I think golf training is a load of rubbish. I just train because it is good for my mental health and it's good for me and I want to be an athlete. I just don't want to be a golfer and I enjoy it like a hobby. Do you know what I mean to say. That's what I do," Hull revealed.
