What happened at the 2007 Ricoh Women's British Open

Ochoa opened with a bogey-free, bunker-free 67 in the first women's professional event ever played on the Old Course.

In Sunday's teeming rain her second shot at the Road Hole 17th finished in a pot bunker well short of the green, but she escaped with a bogey six and parred the 18th to win by four.
