Georgia Kelly Hall MBE (born 12 April 1996) is an English professional golfer. She plays on the Ladies European Tour,[1] and the LPGA Tour. In 2018 she won the Women's British Open at Royal Lytham; it was her first victory in a major championship.

Amateur career

Hall began her golfing career at Canford Magna Golf Club. She won two gold medals at the 2013 Australian Youth Olympic Festival. She had a successful amateur career winning the 2013 British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship.

Professional career

Turning professional in July 2014, Hall had an early success, winning the Open Generali de Strasbourg on the LET Access Series. In early 2016, she won the Oates Victorian Open on the ALPG Tour.

In 2017, Hall won the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit after recording seven top 10 finishes during the season, including a tie for third place at the Women's British Open and a tie for tenth place at the Evian Championship.[2]

Hall earned her 2018 LPGA Tour card through qualifying school.[3] In August 2018, she won her first major championship at the 2018 Women's British Open, finishing two strokes ahead of Pornanong Phatlum.[4] She ended the season by winning the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit for the second time, becoming the youngest player to defend the title.[5]

In 2020, while the main tours were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hall won two tournaments on the Rose Ladies Series and finished second in the overall standings behind Charley Hull.[6] The LPGA Tour returned at the end of July, and in September she won for the second time on the tour, and the first time in the United States, at the Cambia Portland Classic, where she defeated Ashleigh Buhai in a sudden-death playoff.[7]

Personal life

Hall's father, Wayne, acted as caddie for her during the 2018 Women's British Open.[8] She was born two days before Nick Faldo pulled off one of the greatest sporting comebacks in history to win his third Masters title at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Faldo's famous win in Georgia inspired her name.[8]

Hall was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2019 Birthday Honours for services to golf.[9]
