Coverage of the historic opening round of the Ricoh Women's British Open, with female professionals playing for the first time on The Old Course at St Andrews. Also looking to break new ground will be Mexico's new world number one Lorena Ochoa, who awaits her first major title. Her predecessor at the top of the rankings, Annika Sorenstam, was a winner of this event in 2003 and needs to clinch the title this weekend to maintain her run of at least one major victory every year since 2001.
Hazel Irvine introduces the second round of the Women's British Open, the fourth and last major on the Ladies' Tour this year. The year's previous three majors have all ended with first-time winners and world number one Lorena Ochoa of Mexico will hope to continue that trend as she looks to better her current highest finish in a major of second. Once-dominant Swede Annika Sorenstam is attempting to halt the march of time, having failed to threaten the leaderboard at her last four majors. She has younger players snapping at her heels, among them American Morgan Pressel - who, at 18, became the youngest winner of any of the women's majors at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in April. With another prodigy, Michelle Wie, struggling all year with a wrist injury, Pressel could be the new face to watch on the Old Course at St Andrews.
