Best friends Hall and Hull were defeated by Tom Shadbolt and Ben Evans, 4 and 3, in the Round of 16 on Thursday. Hall, playing out of Wentworth, noted on Instagram that she had the best time, even if the weather was particularly rough.
Another set of Solheim Cup teammates – Maja Stark and Linn Grant – won the Sunningdale Foursomes in 2019. Lottie Woad, the current No. 1 amateur in the world, won it in 2022 with Rachel Gourley.
