KAEC — England’s Georgia Hall delivered a measured final round 71 to win the $1million Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by Public Investment Fund by five shots at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, on the Jeddah coast.After being congratulated on the final green by Solheim Cup team member and good friend Emily Kristine Pedersen, a clearly delighted Hall showed how much the win — her first on the Ladies European Tour since her only other Tour victory, the 2018 Women’s Open — meant.“It's fantastic to win in March, so early in the season,” said the world No. 25. “I really love this place and love the golf course. I was fine after 18, and then Emily started crying, and it made me cry. I was just really proud of the way I played today.”Hall’s one-under-par...

It was the first time in history any player has bagged more than seven consecutive birdies in a regular season LET event.Whaley — who turned pro in 2019 and was competing in her first ever event outside the States — said: “It is the best round I've ever had in a tournament.

Georgia Hall storms to five-shot lead heading into the final day at ASLI
KAEC — England’s Georgia Hall looks set to claim her maiden regular season Ladies European Tour (LET) tournament title after sailing into a five-shot lead ahead of Sunday’s final round at the $1million Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by Public Investment Fund.A near perfect four-under-par 68 has put the 25-year-old firmly in control at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club on the Jeddah coast, as she seeks to claim what would be only her second LET win.Hall famously won the 2018 Women’s Open at Royal Lytham, a triumph that remains her sole Major title. More remarkably, it is also her only LET win to date.That, however, looks set to change tomorrow, as the world #25 heads-out for her closing round five-shots clear on a course where she holds the ladies’ record.Hall said:...

LET stars try to recreate Harold Varner III’s incredible 92ft winning putt
KAEC — It was a moment that will live long in the memory of golf fans around the world: Harold Varner III’s colossal 92ft eagle putt to win last month’s $5million PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers.From just off the 18th green, the American — in need of a birdie four to take good friend Bubba Watson to a tournament-deciding playoff — drained what will likely remain the most incredible putt of the season.Sent from the Royal Greens’ fairway, via the fringe and onto the green, the snaking putt banked through a considerable right to left break, picking up pace on a downslope before having just enough left in the tank to crawl its final 20 feet right into the centre of the cup, cueing wild celebration from Varner III, his caddie, and a packed greenside...

Napoleaova shoots best ever round of 66 to join Hall at the top of ASLI leaderboard
KAEC — England’s Georgia Hall remains in a share for the lead at the halfway point of the Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by Public Investment Fund after a second consecutive 69 on the Red Sea coast.The former British Open champion made the most of her early morning tee time to bag a trio of birdies en route to a Day Two three-under-par, earned in far calmer weather than the day before.Ferocious 40km/h winds had brought havoc to afternoon scoring at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club on Thursday, making for conditions Hall described as “the hardest” she had ever played in.A thoroughly controlled Friday round – blotted only by a single bogey – ensured the 25-year-old’s six-under-par total would be the score to beat heading into the weekend, as the Jeddah course’s...
