Georgia Hall, the Ricoh Women’s British Open champion, said: “I’ll just go out there and get the match done as quickly as possible. It’s absolutely tipping down and it’s extremely cold, so it’s not very enjoyable. We’re just going to go out there and try our best.”

| Michele and Meghan - Courtesy of the European Ladies Tour Website |
The semi-final line-ups in the inaugural Men’s and Women’s European Golf Team Championships have been confirmed, as the battle to be crowned golf’s first European Champions at Gleneagles gathers momentum.
In the Women’s competition, the top ranked Great Britain team of last week’s Women’s British Open Champion, Georgia Hall and four-time Major winner, Laura Davies will face Casja Persson and Linda Wessberg of Sweden.
In the second semi-final, French pair Justine Dreyer and Manon Molle will face the self-proclaimed “underdogs” of the Great Britain team, Michele Thomson and Meghan MacLaren.
Michele, from Aberdeen, Scotland, said of the putt to secure the semi-final place: “It was the biggest putt of my career. It was just nice to hole it and give us a chance to get a medal. The approach shot to the 18th green was one of the best shots I’ve ever played.”
