Charley Hull continued to be a viral sensation on the LPGA Tour over the weekend as fans went wild for her latest on-course antics.
The British golfer, who sparked a social media frenzy earlier this year when she was spotted lighting up a cigarette at the women's US Open, proved to be another hit during The ANNIKA over the weekend.
Hull, who was ultimately outdueled by World No. 1 Nelly Korda at the Pelican Golf Club, was captured on the broadcast mimicking Donald Trump's infamous dance move during the final round of the event.
The 28-year-old, who finished tied-second at 11-under, performed the dance, which the president-elect has wowed his fans with at his rallies, as she and Korda walked up a fairway with their caddies.
Golf fans loved Hull's antics with many taking to social media to gush over the World No. 11.
'Couldn’t love her more,' one fan professed on X, formerly known as Twitter.

'My new favorite golfer!!!!,' a third added, alongside a heart-eyes emoji, while a fourth chimed in, posting, 'Didn’t think she could get any hotter.'
'Just when you thought you couldn't like Charley Hull anymore than you already do...,' another agreed.
'When is @MalbonGolf dropping the Trump collab?,' one social media user jokingly asked, referring to Hull's clothing sponsor, Malbon.
Hull is just the latest athlete to perform the move after several NFL players and UFC fighters seemingly showed their support for the president-elect over the weekend.
During their clash with the Miami Dolphins, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers celebrated a superb 20-yard touchdown run by performing the famous Trump dance, which is proving very popular across the league right now.
Bowers' celebration was captured by CBS on its live broadcast of the game, while the NFL also posted a clip of both his touchdown and the dance that followed on social media.
Yet in their own social-media post, CBS opted to share a shorter video which ends just before the Raiders star pulls out Trump's notorious two-handed shuffle.

Fans were left seething after watching the clip, with many claiming the broadcasters purposely decided to cut it in order to leave Bowers' celebration out.
CBS is not alone in facing accusations of anti-Trump bias, with Detroit Lions fans also hitting out at the team's own social media for leaving out defensive end Za'Darius Smith's dance in a clip that shows him celebrating a big sack on Sunday.
After Bowers was asked about imitating Trump's signature dance in a postgame press conference, the Raiders also reportedly ended his time with the media.
He did not reference Trump by name when asked about his decision to pay homage to the future president. Yet, that proved the final question he took from the media before Las Vegas staff appeared to intervene.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the Raiders for comment about ending Bowers' interview early, with no immediate response.
The Trump-dance craze is sweeping through both the NFL and other sports in the wake of his election victory.
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa, who was recently fined for wearing a 'Make America Great Again' cap in a postgame interview, was first to pull out the dance after a sack in their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last weekend.
And like Bowers, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley and Lions star Smith also followed Bosa's lead by celebrating big plays on Sunday with moves inspired by the President-elect.
UFC heavyweight king Jon Jones performed Trump's dance at UFC 309 on Saturday night after defeating Stipe Miocic in New York's Madison Square Garden.
Trump's famous dance is becoming somewhat of a craze in sports after his election win
In one hilarious moment, Trump was assessing his surroundings before cage-side before Village People's YMCA song blasted through the arena - and the president elect couldn't help himself.
The Republican took it upon himself to have a dance and was seen punching the air to the chorus as fans lapped up the moment.
And when Jones won the main event by knocking out Miocic with a brutal roundhouse kick, he celebrated by performing the dance to Trump in the front row.
After leaving the cage, the UFC Heavyweight champion made his way over to where Trump was sitting with Elon Musk and handed him his championship belt.
