Members of The Open venue Royal Troon have voted in favour of admitting women to the club.
Royal Troon is the only remaining host club to maintain a male-only membership policy after golf governing body The R&A removed Muirfield from the rota when its members voted against accepting female members.
A vote took place at a meeting on Friday where members voted "overwhelmingly" to welcome women to the club.
A review of membership policy was announced by Troon in January 2015 and was initially not due to be resolved until later this year. However, the South Ayrshire club brought forward its vote to before this year's Open, taking place between July 14 and 17.
