DORSET golfing sensation Georgia Hall has been handed a dream draw for the Women's Open - alongside four-time major winner Laura Davies.

The 17-year-old amateur star will be in illustrious company when she tees up alongside legend Davies in the St Andrew's showpiece later this week.

Hall has been drawn to play with Davies and Korea's So Yeon Ryu in the first round of the prestigious event at 11.26am on Thursday.

Wallisdown's Hall, a member at both Remedy Oak and Parkstone, won last year's British Girls' Championship and earned exemption to the Open with victory in the ladies' British Amateur Championship.

Davies, 49, is one of the best-known players in the women's game and boasts a fine record of 84 professional career wins.
