BOURNEMOUTH'S Georgia Hall finished the first day of the Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco halfway up the leaderboard.

The 20-year-old yesterday carded an opening round of 75 at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in her first Ladies’ European Tour event in nearly two months.

Hall is due off at 12.47pm today as she bids to extend into the weekend her stay in Rabat.

The former Curtis Cup star is currently tied-seventh in the LET order of merit having racked up more than 22,000 euro in four tournaments on the circuit this year.
