Hull's four-putt tells you everything you need to know about Charley Hull

A record 62 and nothing to show for it - that is the Charley Hull experience

Some players break records. Charley Hull breaks hearts. Mostly her own.

Let that second-round 62 at Centurion Club marinate for a moment. Eleven under par. A score that matched the all-time Ladies European Tour record. The kind of round that should be framed, celebrated, and remembered as the centrepiece of a dominant week.

Instead, it is a footnote to a four-putt.

Four putts. On the 17th. With the lead.

I have watched a lot of golf collapses. Jean van de Velde at Carnoustie. Greg Norman at Augusta. Those are operatic tragedies played out over hours. Hull's was a speed run. She birdied 15 and 16 to grab the lead, then four-putted the 17th to hand it straight back.

There is no way to dress that up. Four putts from a professional golfer on the most pressurised hole of her week is not bad luck. It is not a rub of the green. It is a mental implosion, pure and simple.

Anna Huang did not steal this title. She collected it from the lost property desk.

This is becoming a pattern, not an incident

Here is what concerns me far more than one bad green. Hull has been doing this for years. Flashes of outrageous talent buried under avalanches of self-inflicted damage. The Scottish Open a fortnight ago? Tied 44th at ten over. The Women's Open form line is not much better.

She is 30 now. Not a precocious teenager any more. At some point, the "she'll figure it out" narrative expires. I would argue it already has.

The fair counter-point

Yes, finishing at 20 under par for the week is hardly a disgrace. And yes, the wind at Centurion tested everyone. Shannon Tan was three shots further back in third. Patty Tavatanakit another five behind her. Hull was, by any measure, one of the two best players in the field.

But being one of the two best and losing because you four-putted a par four with the tournament in your hands - that is worse than finishing tenth. That is the kind of moment that follows a player around.

The Solheim Cup should terrify Europe

Hull is a certain starter at Bernardus Golf in September. She is one of Europe's most experienced Solheim Cup competitors - the serious spine that Anna Nordqvist's rookie-heavy squad desperately needs.

But can you trust a player who four-putts under pressure to hole the ones that matter in match play? With three wildcard rookies alongside her, Hull cannot afford to be the experienced head who cracks first.

Charley Hull has more talent in her putter than most golfers have in their entire bag. That is precisely what makes this so infuriating. She does not need more ability. She needs whatever it is that stops a four-putt happening when the whole tournament is watching.

Until she finds it, she will keep matching records on Saturday and handing out trophies on Sunday.
