Women's British Open 2018: Georgia Hall Wins, Earns $487.5K Prize Money

Georgia Hall won a thrilling 2018 Women's British Open on Sunday, beating Pornanong Phatlum by two shots at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, England.

The two players engaged in an exciting battle with Hall coming from behind and taking a one-shot lead with just two holes to play.

A double bogey from Phatlum at the 17th handed Hall some breathing room, and she made no mistake to pick up her first major title.

Hall takes home $487,500 (£371,000) for finishing in top spot, Phatlum wins $314,214 (£241,683) and third-placed So Yeon Ryu receives $227,940 (£175,324).
