Ricoh Women's British Golf 2014 - Part 2
Photograph by Patrick Trollope

IT was a mixed week at the RICOH Women's British Open Golf at Royal Birkdale, over 7 July to 13 July 2014. The weather was just as unpredictable, as was at times happening on the greens and fairways. The event attracted many of the sporting elite from the ladies golfing community, with competitors coming from Korea, China, USA, Australia and New Zealand, along with Russia and many more countries. Sadly, there could only be one winner and America's Mo Martin produced 2 of the finest shots of her life which resulted in a tremendous 'eagle'; that propelled her on to becoming a major championship winner. "It's a dream come true." were her first words after leaving the 18th. Also, having a fantastic weekend, was Emma Talley who finished with a solid final round of 73 (+1) thus making it her 1st RIOCH Women's British Open win, for she came away with 6 over to claim the Amateur trophy. The most interesting event of the week was missed by most of the media. Musselburgh's Vikki Laing was the only Scot to make the cut thanks to a stunning Albatross on 17, and she became one of only a very few to ever get it! The last day had a disappointing start, with the wind and rain playing havoc with those playing, and with the media, yet the weather vastly improved by the end of play when the last few to set off. The video, we have uploaded on here, shows the final holes being played by the winner, who stormed through the field and has proven to be a force to be reckoned in the future. One thing we can say is that all the participants, no matter whom, were exceptional with their professionalism and sporting attitudes. That is something many other sports should take note of. Even if you do not like golf, the atmosphere created by all the staff, volunteers, media, and most importantly the players, has made this an extremely memorable event. The fact that the players were so modest, like Vikki Laing, as you can see in the video of her, and also of Mo Martin, is a credit to them and the sport in general. We look forward to the return of the Ricoh Women's British Open, to Royal Birkdale, and to the next Open Golf event. But, for now, please enjoy our video highlights along with the photographs from the week long activities on and off the course.  To see this coverage please click on here now!   Also for more information about the event can be found RWBO website

It was announced at the 2014 event that Turnberry's famous Ailsa course will be the venue for the 2015 Ricoh Women's British Open for only the 2nd time in the Championship's history. We wish them the best of luck with the 2015 event and we hope they have the same success as Southport has enjoyed this year.
