Charley Hull shares an edit of 'perfect pairing' with best friend Georgia Hall at the KPMG Women’s Irish Open

Charley Hull and Georgia Hall stole the spotlight at the KPMG Women’s Irish Open. On the first day of the tournament at Carton House, Hull shared a short video on Instagram that featured her embracing Hall on the green.

This clip was posted by the KPMG Women’s Irish Open in collaboration with Charley Hull. The caption of the post reads:

“The perfect pairing 🍀.”

This is Hull’s debut appearance at an Irish event since turning professional in 2013. For Hall, it marked another chance to tee it up. They kicked off their campaign on Thursday afternoon with Ireland’s rookie, Sara Byrne, and teed off again on Friday morning from the 10th.

Before the tournament began, Hull posted photos from a practice round on the O’Meara Course, looking relaxed and ready in a cropped black jacket.

Hull, currently ranked No. 10 in the world, has six career wins. Hall, a Women’s British Open champion, is also a well-known name in the golf world. On the course, Hull came out strong with a three-under-par 70, placing her just three shots behind the early lead. With that, let's look at the second round performance of Charley Hull.
