Golf: Women's British Open - Episode Guide

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.

Coverage of the third 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 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.

The final round of the Ricoh Women's British Open from St Andrews. The last of 2007's Majors carries over million pounds in prize money and the competition is fierce. Norway's Suzann Petersen and Americans Morgan Pressel and Cristie Kerr have claimed the other three Majors in 2007. Will there be a British winner joining them?

Coverage of the opening round of the Women's British Open at Sunningdale.

Defending champion and world number one Lorena Ochoa looks to defend the title she won at St Andrews 12 months ago. She won her first major in convincing fashion, leading from start to finish and ending four shots clear of her nearest rivals.

However, the Mexican faces stiff competition from a strong field at Sunningdale, including world number two Annika Sorenstam.

Coverage of the Women's British Open, the only one of the women's majors to take place outside the USA.

The home crowd at Sunningdale will be hoping to see British representation at the top of the leader board. England's Karen Stupples was the last home-grown winner in 2004, while Scottish stars Catriona Matthew and Mhairi McKay can also expect plenty of support.

Other names to watch out for are South Korea's Inbee Park and Taiwan's Yani Tseng, who won the first two majors of 2008.

Andrew Cotter presents coverage of the third round of the Women's British Open on the famous Old Course at Sunningdale, Berkshire.

World number one Lorena Ochoa led from start to finish at last year's tournament, and the wind-battered third day was where the Mexican began to pull away from the field, turning a one-shot lead into a six-stroke cushion going into the final round.

With commentary from Peter Alliss, Ken Brown and Maureen Madill.

Andrew Cotter introduces coverage from the final round of the Women's British Open at Sunningdale. Lorena Ochoa celebrated her first major success at last year's tournament at St Andrews and the Mexican has gone from strength to strength since then, adding the Kraft Nabisco Championship to her major collection earlier this year.

But she will face competition from the likes of 2003 British Open champion Annika Sorenstam, who will be hoping to add some more silverware to her already laden trophy cabinet in what is her final season on the women's professional tour.

Hazel Irvine presents coverage of the opening round of the Women's British Open from Royal Lytham and St Annes on the Lancashire coast.

Swedish superstar Annika Sorenstam may have now retired but there is another Swede who has emerged from her shadows and could be the player to watch. Twenty two-year-old Anna Nordqvist won her first major, the LPGA Championship, in only her fifth start as a professional.

South Korean Jiyai Shin is the defending champion, she shot a 66 during her opening round at Sunningdale in 2008 to immediately put herself into contention; she ended the day just one shot off the lead held by American Juli Inkster.

Hazel Irvine introduces continued coverage of the 33rd Women's British Open from Royal Lytham and St Annes.

American Cristie Kerr shot the best round of the second day in 2008 with a fine round of 65, three shots better than any other player. Swirling winds made conditions tricky, but Asian duo Yuri Fudoh of Japan and Jiyai Shin of South Korea improved their scores to share the lead at halfway, both ten-under-par. The biggest cheer of the day was left for 2003 winner Annika Sorenstam, who made the cut by shooting par for the second successive day.

Hazel Irvine presents coverage of the third round of the Women's British Open from Royal Lytham and St Annes. Those still in contention will be hoping to make a charge ahead of the final round. At this stage last year, Japanese golfer Yuri Fudoh coped best with the wind at Sunningdale to take the outright lead by the end of the day.

Hazel Irvine hosts coverage as the 33rd Women's British Open from Royal Lytham and St Annes reaches its conclusion.

Ji-Yai Shin claimed victory last year with a stunning final round of 66 - the 21-year-old Korean has gone from strength to strength since then and will hope to be in contention to successfully defend her title. However, with 2003 winner Annika Sorenstam now retired and Sherri Steinhauer, champion in 1998 and 2006, having not played for over six months, there is every chance Royal Lytham will crown a new champion.

Hazel Irvine introduces the first-round action from Royal Birkdale as the world's top 10 women compete for the final major of 2010. The stellar cast list is headed by recently-crowned world number one Jiyai Shin, whose ascent to the top began when she won this title in 2008. Scotland's Catriona Matthew is vying to become the first golfer in over a decade to successfully defend the title.

Historic Royal Birkdale hosts the second round of the prestigious Women's British Open, now in its 35th year. It is the first time the event has been held at the Southport course since 2005, when South Korea's Jeong Jang claimed her first major title with four sub-70 rounds. Her compatriot Jiyai Shin is looking for her second British Open triumph in three years but faces stiff competition from the rest of the world's top 10 as they look to take the title from reigning champion Catriona Matthew.

Hazel Irvine introduces third-round action from Royal Birkdale. Scotland's Catriona Matthew is the defending champion, but with the world's top 10 golfers all competing it promises to be a titanic tussle.

Hazel Irvine introduces the climax to the fourth and final major tournament of 2010 on the women's tour. The world's top ten are among the competitors vying for the prestigious trophy and 45,000 pounds winner's cheque at Royal Birkdale. Defending champion Catriona Matthew is the highest-ranked Briton: she became the first Scottish woman to win a major title when she sank three late birdies to win the 2009 British Open by three shots. Expect more drama on the Southport course.

Hazel Irvine introduces the first-round action from Carnoustie as the world's top 15 women compete with the rest of the field for the final major of 2011.

The stellar cast list is headed by defending champion and world number one Yani Tseng. The 22-year-old from Taiwan this year became the youngest female player to have won four major titles, but it is more than a decade since anyone successfully defended the British Open. Tseng faces stiff competition from the likes of former winners Jiyai Shin, Karrie Webb and Scotland's Catriona Matthew.

Coverage of the second round of the prestigious Women's British Open, now in its 36th year. The event is being held at Scotland's famous Carnoustie course for the first time, with world number one and defending champion Yani Tseng seeking her second Major title of the year. That goal is shared by Americans Paula Creamer and Stacy Lewis, while home hopes are led by 2009 British Open champion Catriona Matthew.

Hazel Irvine introduces action from the third round at Carnoustie, where the world's top women golfers are competing for the final major of the year. Yani Tseng led by four shots at the halfway stage at Royal Birkdale last year, and went on to become the first Taiwanese woman to lift the trophy.

Hazel Irvine is at Carnoustie, where the final round of the Women's British Open is taking place. Yani Tseng of Taiwan led by four shots going into the final round last year but had to fight off a late challenge from Australian Katherine Hull before eventually prevailing by a single shot.

Hazel Irvine presents coverage of the first round of the 2012 Women's British Open from Royal Liverpool at Hoylake, which will attract the vast majority of the world's best women golfers to the last major of the year.

Taiwan's Yani Tseng successfully defended her title in 2011, closing with a three under par 69 to win at Carnoustie. That meant the world No 1 became the youngest player ever - male or female - to win five majors, a feat she will be looking to build on in potentially challenging conditions in the north-west of England.

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.

South Korea's Inbee Park finished a further shot back, failing to capitalise on her overnight lead, but the current world number one will be determined to make amends by claiming her first British Open this time around.
