Viral female golf star Charley Hull responds to scrutiny surrounding Rory McIlroy’s personal life
LPGA star Charley Hull has weighed in on the furor surrounding Rory McIlroy’s personal life after a rollercoaster year for the golfer.
McIlroy finally slipped into the Green Jacket earlier this month when he clinched his first Masters win and sealed the career Grand Slam after 11 agonizing years of trying.
The thrilling victory came after a dramatic year of highs and lows for the Northern Irishman, who filed for divorce from his wife Erica Stoll last May, only to perform a shock U-turn on his decision a month later.
Hull, who has made her own share of headlines over the past year thanks to her viral on-course smoking, reacted to the intense interest in the five-time major winner’s actions both on and off the course.
‘At the end of the day, what people say about you, whether it’s good or bad, is irrelevant,’ the women’s world No 10 told US Weekly. ‘If you’re doing something good, people always have bad things to say about you, and try to bring you down because you’re doing well.’
The English player added: ‘My famous saying is, ‘People’s opinions don’t pay my bills.’ So you’ve just got to brush it off with a pinch of salt, you know what I mean?’
