Georgia Hall is looking to move into rarified air at the Evian Championship. She is setting up a weekend run at joining Se Ri Pak as the only LPGA rookies to win back-to-back majors since the tour’s inaugural season in 1950, when Babe Zaharias won all three majors staged that year.

It’s a tiny city of 305 people, according to the most recent census. “No gas station, no grocery story, nothing too glamorous,” Olson once said of what it was like growing up there. “I’m a country girl. I don’t like big cities.” This self-described small-town girl, however, […]
