Golf tournament
The 2007 Women's British Open was the 31st Women's British Open, held 2–5 August at the Old Course at St Andrews in Fife, Scotland. It was the seventh as a major championship on the LPGA Tour and the first-ever women's professional event at the Old Course.[4][5]
Lorena Ochoa shot a bunker-free and bogey-free 67 (−6) in the opening round and led wire-to-wire to win the first of her two major titles, four strokes ahead of runners-up Maria Hjorth and Jee Young Lee.[4][5][6][7]
Prior to Ochoa, the last to win a first major at the Old Course was Tony Lema, 43 years earlier in 1964.[4] This was the first Women's British Open sponsored by Ricoh, the previous twenty were by Weetabix.
