Professional career
Turning professional in July 2014, Hall had an early success, winning the Open Generali de Strasbourg on the LET Access Series. In early 2016, she won the Oates Victorian Open on the ALPG Tour.

Personal life
Hall's father, Wayne, acted as caddie for her during the 2018 Women's British Open.[3] She was born two days before Nick Faldo pulled off one of the greatest sporting comebacks in history to win his third Masters title at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Faldo's famous win in Georgia inspired her name.[3]
