DORSET star Georgia Hall began her Women’s British Open campaign with a one-under-par 70 on the opening day of competition at Muirfield.

The world number 27 got off to a solid start at the Scottish venue, with a birdie three on the par four second hole.

Seven straight pars then meant Hall reached the turn at one-under, before dropping a shot with a bogey five at the par four 10th.

Hall made sure she was below par after the opening round after picking up a shot at the short par three 13th.

The former Canford Kid would then go on to par her way in to cap a solid days work.

At the time of writing, Japan’s Hinako Shibuno led the field on six under, with a stunning 65 which included eight birdies.

Brockenhurst’s Liz Young and Poole-born Hayley Davis are among the afternoon starters.
