CORENEWS: Women’s British Open: Phatlum hits top with Georgia Hall in close attendance

• US-based Thai signs for a 67 and 10-under total
• Hall in a share of second place with Lee and Higa

There may be little point in assessing previous form leading into the Women’s British Open. Pornanong Phatlum’s record in the major read like a golfing horror script before this week. To be precise: cut, cut, cut, 27th, cut, cut and cut. It was little wonder, then, the Thai was not fancied by the bookies.
