Last time out

England’s Georgia Hall reigned supreme the last time the AIG Women’s Open was staged at Royal Lytham & St Annes, in 2018.

A first home success since Catriona Matthew in 2009, this victory was made all the more special because Georgia’s dad Wayne was her caddie for the week.

A fantastic five-under-par final round helped Georgia finish two shots clear of Thailand’s Pornanong Phatlum to earn her a first major title.
