Former AIG Ladies’s Open champion Georgia Corridor says the British Open returning to St Andrews can be a “great links test” and has made it a “priority” forward of a busy summer season of girls’s golf.
Corridor, who made her main breakthrough at Royal Lytham six years in the past, is worked up with the problem at this yr’s AIG Ladies’s Open.
It is going to mark the primary large occasion to be held at St Andrews since a serious refurbishment of the historic R&A Clubhouse.
“It’s the home of golf and it’s my favourite place to be,” stated Corridor, talking at a media day in St Andrews for the yr’s version on August 22-25 – stay on Sky Sports activities Golf. “I love it here and I think it will be a great major championship.”
“I think the crowd will be phenomenal,” stated 28-year-old Corridor. “I do know the R&A will set the course up as an ideal check for us and I hope that we get some windy climate so it is a true type of hyperlinks check for everybody concerned.
“It will be great from a personal point of view to have family and friends come out and support me, which I don’t get much on the LPGA.”
Corridor, who first performed at St Andrews as an novice, says the place brings again joyful reminiscences, saying: “I used to be 16, that was a very long time in the past, however to win the silver medal and have my dad caddie for me was fairly particular. However when the wind blows this course can get fairly powerful.
“I remember the first two rounds I got paired with Laura Davies as well so she’s just a British idol. It was a great experience for me. It’s pretty special and it can’t come quick enough.”

“What I’ve learned is that it’s really hard to win a major – you can’t back off on a Sunday,” added Corridor. “The pins are tucked but everyone wants to win here more than just a normal Open just because St Andrews is the home of golf.
“Hyperlinks golf fits me greater than every other sort of golf. You’ll want to be a pure and have a type of creativeness across the greens they usually’re loads slower right here as nicely which go well with me.
“I’m just going to prepare myself as much as possible. I need to improve my putting and just to be in a good mindset.
“This can be a precedence. It is the largest occasion in ladies’s golf.”
