But besides golf, Hall is also interested in other sports, especially Hockey. After the third round on Saturday at Colonial, where he is leading the ranking chart, Hall showed his support for his favorite hockey team – Vegas Golden Knights. The 25-year-old English golfer wore their jersey at the interview where he expressed his love for them. He said – 

“I was going to wear it on the Golf course on the 13th. That was the plan.”

Hall informed that he also plays golf with them. “Yeah, I play a lot of golf with them. Zach Whitecloud, Chandler Stephenson. I won this jersey at a charity day they had. It was a little bit unfair because they had me in a scramble that didn’t have any handicaps, so we ended up winning.”
