Hall hunting for first crown

Tying for third place in the World Ladies Championship on the weekend has bolstered Georgia Hall's confidence in realizing her 2017 goals of entering the world's top 50 and winning her first Ladies European Tour tournament.

Hall, No 103 in the Rolex Rankings as of March 13, was the only non-Korean to place in the top 10 at Mission Hills Resort in Haikou, Hainan province.

The native of Bournemouth, England, who will turn 21 in April, is excited to have a good start to this year after being runner-up at the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in the United Arab Emirates in November - her best finish to date on the European Tour.
