Hazel Irvine presents live coverage of the opening round of the women's British Open, taking place on the Old Course at St Andrews. The last three titles have been won by golfers from Asia, with Taiwan's Yani Tseng triumphant in 2010 and 2011 and South Korea's Jiyai Shin victorious in 2012. Scotland's Catriona Matthew was the last European to win the tournament in 2009.
Hazel Irvine introduces coverage of the second round of the women's Open, which is being staged on the Old Course at St Andrews. Home hopes will be pinned on Scotland's Catriona Matthew, who won this tournament in 2009 just 11 weeks after giving birth to her second child. That victory is the Scot's only major title to date, although she nearly claimed number two earlier this year, losing a play-off to Inbee Park at the LPGA Championship.
Hazel Irvine presents coverage of the third round from the Women's British Open at St Andrews. The Old Course first hosted the tournament in 2007 when it was won by the then world number one, Lorena Ochoa of Mexico. There is no doubting who is the dominant name in women's golf in 2013 though. South Korea's Inbee Park is attempting to make history by becoming the first player, male or female, to win four professional majors in one season. In 2013 she has stormed to victory at the Kraft Nabisco, the LPGA Championship and the US Women's Open.
Hazel Irvine presents further coverage of the third round from the Women's British Open at St Andrews. South Korea's Jiyai Shin won the title by an incredible nine shots in 2012 at a windswept Hoylake. Asian players have won 11 out of the last 12 majors, including victories in all three majors this year by Shin's compatriot Inbee Park.
Hazel Irvine presents live coverage of the final round of the Women's British Open from St Andrews. The famous Old Course could play host to yet another historic golfing moment as South Korea's Inbee Park is aiming to win her fourth major of 2013, a feat no male or female player has ever achieved in the same year in the professional era. Her compatriot, Jiyai Shin, won the title last year in style, making light of tricky, windy conditions to win by nine shots at Hoylake.
