She looks to have recovered from her terrible opening 81 at the Olympics earlier this month.
The Kettering native, 28, finished the final three rounds at Le Golf National at eight under par, which means that only a mediocre start would have qualified her for the medal.
Hull then allayed worries about her comparatively poor form in links with a positive performance at last week’s Scottish Open at Dundonald.
She’s dreaming of her first major win at the home of golf, without getting ahead of herself.
She needs to beat Lilia Vu’s second-place finish from last year at Walton Heath in order to accomplish that.
She said to Sport, “It would be very special; it would be amazing,” after getting “goosebumps” when practicing walking up the renowned 18th hole.
Hull says she’ll rely on her caddie, Adam Woodward, to advise her on “tight lines” in order to counteract the unsettling effects of the Old Course’s frequently misleadingly expansive vistas.
Hull has also worked on ball flight at lower altitudes to counteract predicted high winds. They went well in Ayrshire last week, giving her more confidence to have a shot at the course where she made her competitive debut in 2013 as a raw teenager.
