BRITISH golf star Charley Hull has issued an update on her condition after being carried off the course on a stretcher at the Amundi Evian Championship in France.

The 29-year-old was forced to withdraw from the tournament after collapsing twice during her round.

The world No19 was struck down by a virus she’d been battling for days.

Hull first showed signs of distress early in her round, sitting down in a bunker on the third hole looking unwell.

Just moments later, she collapsed near the fourth tee.

Despite a 15-minute medical delay, the Kettering-born golfer bravely tried to carry on, even managing to get to one under through 12 holes.

But after hitting her tee shot on the 13th, she collapsed agai, bringing her round and her tournament to an early and heartbreaking end.

Clearly gutted to pull out, Hull was overheard saying: “I was playing pretty well but I feel faint.”

She also noted she had trouble with her eyesight.

Having started to feel better again, she has now taken to social media to reassure fans.

She wrote on her Instagram page: “Not the Evian Championship I was hoping for.

“Been struggling with a virus all week but it got the better of me yesterday.

“Thanks to the medics who took care of me and to all those who have reached out with messages of support, it’s really appreciated.

“Happy to say I’m feeling a lot better today, just gutted I can’t play the weekend at such a fantastic tournament.”

Hull’s illness comes amid reports that a virus has been affecting several players in the field.

Swedish US Open champ Maja Stark and Swiss rising star Chiara Tamburlini are also believed to have been hit in the build-up to the event.
