While many people have seen the funny side of the incident, Hull has faced criticism both on social media and from figures within golf, including four-time major winner Dame Laura Davies, who described the stunt as “extremely cruel” when asked about it on commentary.
However, Hull has refused to apologise for her actions, with the 30-year-old stating she would “100%” do it again.
