Dorset’s Georgia Hall is five shots clear
in English U13 championship
NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION
Dorset’s Georgia Hall shot the low score of the day with a level par 72 to take a five-stroke lead after the first round of the English girls’ Under-13 championship at The Wiltshire.
The course is hosting both the U13 and U15 championships and Georgia was the lowest scorer in either event. “I couldn’t ask for much more,” said the 13-year-old from Ferndown.
She had an extremely tidy round of 14 pars, two bogeys and two birdies. “My putting was the best part of my game,” said Georgia, who calculated she needed only 26 strokes on the greens. Her closest challengers are Wiltshire’s Kyra Horlock and defending champion Charley Hull of Northamptonshire, who both shot five-over par 77s.
Kyra remarked: “I’m really pleased with my score because I played well and just hit solid shots all day.”
She also kept her cool after she four-putted the 16th for a triple bogey 6 – and bounced straight back with a birdie on the seventh.
Kyra was runner-up in the county ladies’ championship and Wiltshire’s top scorer in county match week. She is a member at Hamptworth and at Broadstone in Dorset, where she has just become the junior champion.
There was impressive scoring from two girls, paired together, when they both eagled the same hole. Eloise Healey (Lee Park) and Sana Tufail (Woking Ladies’) both scored 3s on the par-5 11th.
After tomorrow’s round the field will be cut to the leading 18 players and ties who will go forward to play the final 18 holes on Thursday.
