"Wish I was like Charley Hull" - Madelene Sagstrom reveals admiration for English star's fitness after gritty Match Play win

Madelene Sagstrom said that she wished she ran like Charley Hull and did cardio. Her comments came after playing over 100 holes to win the T-Mobile Match Play 2025.

On Sunday, April 6, Sagstrom entered the final round of the T-Mobile Match Play 2025 after posting a 4&2 win over Angel Yin in the semifinal. In the finals, she posted a 1-up win over Lauren Coughlin to register her first LPGA win in five years.

During the post-round interview, Sagstrom was asked about the rigorous schedule where she had been awake since 4:15 a.m. ET.

'I would like to say that it's on my cardio workouts, but it's really not because I don't do cardio," she said, via Asap Sports. "I wish I was like Charley and did a lot of running, but I don't. I think it's just I felt really comfortable with my game this week. I've really trusted the work that me, my coach, Hans, and my whole team with AimPoint, what we've been doing over the years.

"Today, event last week, even though I missed the cut by one, I felt like I'm doing so many good things, so if I just kind of keep getting out of my own way and keep worrying about the results when I'm standing over the ball," she added.

Madelene Sagstrom added that match play helped her play freely and allowed her to hit more risk-averse shots.
