Hall is in her seventh season as a member of the LPGA Tour but has opted not to move full-time to the United States.<\/p>\n

“I’ll try and do three weeks in a row. I don’t want to do more because that’s tough,” said the 28-year-old.<\/p>\n

“The amount of times I finish a round and it’s 5pm in America and everyone is asleep [in the UK]. If you play badly you’re just sat there, you can’t speak to anyone. <\/p>\n

“That’s half the mental battle of making sure you’re mentally happy and prepared to go out and play good golf.<\/p>\n

“I love being home and love being in the UK, and that’s never going to change.”<\/p>\n

Hall is gearing up for next week’s second women’s major of the season, the US Women’s Open, with the PGA Championship following in June before July’s Evian Championship.<\/p>\n

But she also has one eye on a return to St Andrews and the Old Course for the AIG Women’s Open from 22-25 August. <\/p>\n

She said she was star-struck on her last visit to the course, having been invited to play in a special four-hole ‘Celebration of Champions’ event<\/a> to mark The Open’s 150th anniversary in 2022.<\/p>\n

Hall played in a group with Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Lee Trevino, who have won six Claret Jugs between them.<\/p>\n

“I got a call saying that I’m paired with Tiger, and I just could not believe it. I was so nervous,” she added.<\/p>\n

“I’m so grateful to the R&A for putting me in that group. It was just a dream of mine.”<\/p>\n

Hall’s first visit to the Old Course was in 2013 and she made a sparkling debut on the famed links at the age of 17, winning the Women’s Open Silver Medal as joint best amateur.<\/p>\n

“I played solidly that week,” she recalled, having opened with a four-under-par 68. <\/p>\n

“I putt the best on links greens in general but I just don’t get to play it a lot. I’m really looking forward to putting on greens that don’t have a lot of slope. You have to hit it firm to the hole.<\/p>\n

“And you definitely have to just imagine more shots on this golf course, especially when the wind gets up.<\/p>\n

“I hope we don’t have good weather because it’s not showing the golf course at its best. Like any kind of Open, the weather should be slightly British.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully we’ll have a bit of wind.”<\/p>\n

Hall won the Women’s Open – her only major – at another links course, Royal Lytham & St Annes in 2018, and says if she could add a second title at St Andrews, that would be the ultimate triumph.<\/p>\n

“If I won the US Open this year, it won’t beat my win at Lytham,” she said. <\/p>\n

“The only thing that would beat that is if I won here.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
