Hall commented: “I am really looking forward to playing in the Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open next week. The next month is going to be a very busy time on the schedule, but I can’t wait to kick off the two Scottish events at Dundonald Links next week. I love the challenges of links golf, and last time we played here in 2017 I finished in the top-10 so I am excited to see how the club and course has changed over the last few years.”
