She remains the most recent British female player to win a major.Now Hall, 30, is back on the Fylde coast, with five-month-old son Conor and the rest of her family in tow.It was only when she first picked up a club again six weeks after giving birth that she entertained the idea of coming back to the venue that means so much to her.”I was in Ireland and went to a local driving range,” mentioned Hall.”I was really excited because I didn’t know how I was going to hit it and thought I might top it or something.”But I actually hit it pretty good, although there was no rotation at all. I went there for an hour and I was pleasantly surprised. I left thinking, ‘OK, let’s see if I can get back to Lytham.'”Weeks later Hall returned to the Ladies European Tour, impressively making cuts in France, the Netherlands and Belgium. Those performances were enough to convince her she is ready to return to the major stage.Hull & Woad provide hope for home Women’s Open win
