This year's Open host Royal Troon voted overwhelmingly on Friday to admit women members -- the last club which hosts European golf's most historic event to do so. The Troon members had been due to hold the vote later in the year but revised that decision after the governing body The R&A withdrew Muirfield's name from the Open hosts list when its members voted not to allow in women in May, provoking a firestorm of criticism. "I am delighted with the decision taken by members of Royal Troon this evening and look forward to welcoming women to our great Club," said club captain Martin Cheyne, ahead of this year's Open, taking place between July 14 and 17.
