Michael Beamish, Captain of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, said: “The Club would like to congratulate Ashleigh Buhai on winning this year’s AIG Women’s Open. It has been an honour and a privilege to welcome the world’s best women golfers to Muirfield and to see the crowds enjoying some exceptional golf and a fantastic, nail-biting conclusion.
Ashleigh Buhai bravely overcame a nightmarish triple-bogey on the 15th to claim a hugely dramatic victory in the AIG Women’s Open, defeating In Gee Chun on the fourth hole of an extraordinary sudden-death play-off at Muirfield.

The course at Muirfield was created by Old Tom Morris in 1891 and then re-designed in 1925 by Harry Colt using the original area and an additional 50 acres purchased by the Club.
