Former champion Georgia Hall is hoping Wales will prove to be a happy hunting ground once more as she prepares for the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Porthcawl.
England’s Hall is the most recent British winner of the Women’s Open having triumphed at Royal Lytham & St Annes in 2018.
The tournament comes to Wales for the first time this year as Royal Porthcawl plays host to the final golf major of 2025 starting on Thursday.

The 29-year-old won the Girls’ Amateur Championship in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, in 2012 before going on to collect the Women’s Amateur Championship at Machynys Golf Club in Carmarthenshire 12 months later.
