"I think it was the ice cream."

Charley Hull was two-over through six holes during her opening round at the Amundi Evian Championship on Thursday. Then something changed. Hull went seven-under the rest of the way, including a birdie-birdie-par-eagle finish that put the World No. 5 firmly in the mix for her first major. So what did Hull credit for her remarkable turnaround? Ice cream of course.

That was scene after Hull's ridiculous approach on the par-5 15th hole which sparked her four-under finish. Moments before, cameras caught her stopping for an ice cream cone in the summer heat. In truth, the cone was for her caddie Adam Woodward, but after the round, she credited the sweet treat for her reversal of fortunes.

"I felt quite good, I think it was the ice cream my caddie had on the 15th hole," Hull explained. "It's not shy kids don't get sweets, it's shy caddies don't get ice cream."
