STRONG START TO ROUND TWO FOR GEORGIA HALL

Hall started at the 10th and birdied the 11th and 13th holes to establish a two stroke lead at nine-under-par, in hot and sunny conditions at Real Club de Campo Guadalmina on the Costa del Sol.

Suzann Pettersen also birdied the 11th, but made a bogey on the 12th before recovering a shot at the 13th to get back to seven-under-par alongside overnight co-leaders Natalia Escuriola Martinez and Diana Luna.

Hall then birdied the long 17th moving to 10-under with a three stroke lead through the turn.
