Golf fans weighed in on the video on X, with some saying Hull was their new favorite golfer and others downplaying the cigarette smoking. Another person noted that Hull took some time to congregate with fans.
“I was just happy she was taking her break time to take care of the fans! Hope she rocks and rolls!” the person wrote.
Daly notably plays golf with a cigarette hanging from his mouth. Last year, CBS Sports’ Will Brinson recalled a memory of Daly at the 2008 Wyndham Championship. He had 21 cigarettes, 12 Diet Cokes and six packs of peanut M&M’s in 18 holes.

LPGA GOLFER LEXI THOMPSON, 29, ABRUPTLY ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT, CITING MENTAL HEALTH
It’s unlikely that Hull is following the Daly regimen on the golf course.
Hull, 28, of England, has two wins on the LPGA Tour. She won the CME Group Tour Championship in 2016 and the Volunteers of America Classic in 2022. She nearly won the Kroger Queen City Championship last year but lost in a playoff to Minjee Lee.
On the Ladies European Tour, she’s posted three wins. She took victories at the Lalla Meryem Cup in 2014, the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in 2019 and the Aramco Team Series – New York in 2021.
She’ll be looking for the first major victory of her career at the U.S. Women’s Open. She finished tied for second in the event last year. She was also second in last year’s Women’s British Open.
