ENGLAND WIN AGANST SCOTLAND'S LADIES AND GIRLS - DAY 2 HOME INTERNATIONALS

By Colin Farquharson

Although beaten 5-4 by England today (Thursday), Scotland still have a chance of winning the women's home internationals title on the final day at Ballybunion Golf Club. 
If the Scots can smash Ireland's 100 per cent record it would come down to a games-won count back with England who will surely beat Wales, losers of both their matches so far by big margins. 

The Scots faltered against England, losing 5-4 after Eilidh Briggs went down by 2 and 1 to Lianna Bailey in the final singles. 

The real damage was done in the morning foursomes after which the Scots trailed 2.5-0.5 with their top pairing of Hannah McCook and Curtis Cup player Shannon McWilliam losing by 2 and 1 to Lily May Humphreys and Lianna Bailey. 
If Scotland beat Ireland and England beat Wales, they will both finish with 2pt and the championship will decided on a countback of games won. The Irish will be confident of beating Scotland and winning the title with three wins out of three.

Foursomes (0.5-2.5)

British Open: Georgia Hall wins first major title

England's Georgia Hall won her first major title with a two-shot victory at the Women's British Open at Royal Lytham and St Annes.

The 22-year-old is only the third British winner since the event became a major championship in 2001.

Trailing Pornanong Phatlum by a shot overnight, Hall moved clear of the Thai with two holes remaining, and held her nerve to secure victory.

Hall finished on 17 under, having picked up five shots on the final day

Her bogey on the last hole was her first of the round, and she dropped just three shots in the whole tournament.

Phatlum was her nearest challenger, with Korean Ryu So-yeon third another two shots adrift.

GEORGIA KEEPS HOME HOPES HIGH

England’s Georgia Hall birdied the last hole under pressure at Royal Lytham and St Annes Golf Club on Saturday evening and heads into the final round of the Ricoh Women’s British Open just one stroke behind Pornanong Phatlum from Thailand.

Both players produced third rounds of 69 in calm and sunny conditions to finish on 13 and 12-under-par respectively after 54 holes and will play together for a second consecutive day in the final pairing on Sunday. Hall, who played with the eventual winner In-Kyung Kim in the final group last year at Kingsbarns, where she tied for third, will draw on that experience and home advantage on Sunday. 
She said: “I’m really excited to go out in the last group again and see what happens. I can’t believe how many people were out there today supporting me, it felt like hundreds and hundreds of people, cheering my name and wanting me to do well.” 

Hall saved her best for last when she played an aggressive five-iron from the first cut on the left side of the fairway up beyond the flag on 18, the ball rolling 10 feet past the pin before she rolled in the putt in front of a delighted gallery.
