Dorset’s Georgia Hall leads qualifiers in English U13 championship

Press Release from EWGA (sent yesterday...apologies for the delay, GGK)

Dorset’s Georgia Hall has kept her grip on the top of the leaderboard in the English girls’ U13 championship at The Wiltshire – and is four strokes clear with a round to play.

The 13-year-old county player from Ferndown (pictured) added a six-over par 78 to her opening 72 and leads 18 qualifiers into tomorrow’s final round.

Her nearest rival is Wiltshire’s Kyra Horlock, 13, who moved a shot closer to the leader when she returned the low round of the day with her five-over par 77. Defending champion Charley Hull, from Northamptonshire, is two shots further back in third place.

The three girls were all fortunate with the weather. Kyra was first out and finished her round just before it started raining. Meanwhile, Georgia and Charley were among those who managed to get in before the drizzle turned to a downpour. However, most of the field had to cope with heavy rain and were soaked through by the time they left the course.
