Georgia Hall

Mixed Zone

Q. Fantastic start. How did that feel. What was working for you?

GEORGIA HALL: I was holing some really good putts and saving a couple pars. Holed like 15-, 20-footers; always helps.

So, yeah, my game was just really good front nine and managed to take advantage of not a lot of wind.

Q. Bunker shot on 15, what were you trying to do there? Was that just didn't get it -- you didn't lift it enough?

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, I was in between two clubs because it was quite a long bunker shot so I wanted to get more run on it. I decided to hit a 54 instead of 58. I was stood there about ten minutes we had a rule going on, which doesn't normally help me, especially if I'm in a bit of momentum.

Kind of, yeah, handled it a bit poorly. Then I changed club and got up and down, so I probably -- I didn't play the right shot, yeah.

Q. Moving up the leaderboard with the support you're getting on the golf course. What's your plan for tomorrow?

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, I mean, obviously like very happy with my round, but I think I let some go at the end. Missed a short putt on the last. I kind of managed to par 16, 17 as well after. Yeah, they're really tough holes.

I don't know. I feel like could be a bit better. Again, I think if I can get started like I did today tomorrow, then see what happens, see where I am.

Q. Can you talk about that support you're getting this week. Who is here for you?

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, obviously my other half is on the bag, so that's very nice for me. And then I've had family members come up and drive up and very close friends come, so it's really nice to get that support.

And obviously people cheering my name and being like one of the home players is a really nice feeling. I am trying to make the most of that as well.

Q. As someone with a lot of links golf experience, how do you rate those last five holes?

GEORGIA HALL: Oh, they're fantastic. The first five and the last five are the best on the course for sure. The first five you're kind of happy to be level par after.

And then -- well, and probably the last hole, if you have a bit of chance on 18. Still got to get up and down, and it's hard to hit that green in two.

Yeah, definitely 14, 15, 16, 17, it's -- made four pars on them every day and you're happy.
