More from Charley Hull after finishing joint-second at the Women's Open:
"Coming into this week I didn't think I was going to make the cut. That's the truth of it. I wasn't hitting it very well. I couldn't prepare as well as I wanted to because I was poorly. I was obviously collapsed three times in the round in Evian and then still wasn't feeling well until Sunday last week.
"So I think I've done pretty well and, considering my mindset coming into it, I'm pretty proud of myself."

Hull -9 (69)

It's a fourth second-placed finish at a major for Charley Hull, who has been speaking to the media:
"Towards the end I didn't even hit a bad shot on 16. I hit a perfect tee shot and just the wind didn't even move it an inch, I hit it so pure.
"It was a bit unfortunate on 17 missing that putt. I hit a good putt round the line. And then a shame about 18 because I had a pretty high chip over the bunker, and I'd done pretty well just to get it there.
"It was a bit unfortunate but I felt like I was very much in control of my game today. I don't feel like I mishit any shots out there. I hit it pretty pure today."
She added: "I really enjoyed it out there. I felt so in control of my game and I know in my head it's not like I whiffed a drive or whiffed a shot. I hit a good shot on 16.
"I don't feel like I've actually mucked it up by mishitting any shots, which I think everybody can probably agree, you know what I mean? I played so solid."

Miyu Yamashita, speaking via a translator as she is presented the Women's Open trophy: "To win such a historic tournament in front of all these amazing fans is such an incredible feeling and to have my family around me and have so much support from everyone has just been amazing. To be part of such a moment in history is something special.
"The course is set up to be very difficult but also in a brilliant condition and the amount of people supporting and the fans I had around me today really pushed me towards the victory and this is for them.
"All the fans that came here today, all the fans that watched on TV around the world and my family, I would just like to thank everyone involved. Being my first win is something very special and to celebrate with everyone is an amazing feeling."

Rhodes hits miraculous hole-in-one on fifth hole
England's Mimi Rhodes spoke to the media about the a hole in one she made today, as she finished one under for the tournament: "I hit a really good eight iron, right where I wanted it to. I wasn't expecting it to go in so I just picked up my tee and I heard everyone going crazy.
"It was more loud than usual so I knew something had happened. Then we just walked up to the green and it was in the hole.
"I had no idea it hit Steph's ball until I just saw the video, so that's unbelievable."
That winning feelingpublished at 18:55 British Summer Time 3 August

Almost time for Miyu Yamashita to get her hands on the trophy. What a belated birthday present.

England's Lottie Woad spoke to the media after she finished four under for the championship, tied for eighth: "I don't think it affected my golf, but it was definitely a lot more attention, a lot more eyes on me.
"I feel like I handled it pretty well overall and was just sticking to my game, just trying to focus on the prep really and not let it distract me too much.
"It was pretty good overall. Played solid. Probably hit it better over the weekend, just didn't really hole too many putts. But top 10, you can't complain too much. Overall a good week."

Miyu Yamashita punches the air and embraces her caddie!
She’s showered in champagne by her fellow Japanese players who rush the green to celebrate her champagne performance this week!

Yamashita -11 (70)

Miyu Yamashita becomes only the third Japanese player to win the Women's Open.
Hinako Shibuno triumphed at Woburn in 2019, while Ayako Okamoto's victory came back in 1984, also at Woburn.

Kim -7, Yamashita -12 (17)

A Lim Kim plays first and zips a glorious wedge into around a foot, which will surely be rewarded with a birdie.
Miyu Yamashita now clips on and her ball topples down the green into around 10 feet. Those waiting behind the green with the champagne can probably take it off the ice.
Her first putt rolls a foot past and she then tidies up to claim her first major title.

The crowd welcome the surely soon-to-be champion Miyu Yamashita to the 18th green.
She has work to do from the rough in front but shots in hand.

Kim -6, Yamashita -11 (17)

Miyu Yamashita has her yardage book out. She needs to carry a greenside bunker some 180 yards away.
If she can do that, she should be home and hosed.
Crikey that's close. Her ball flirts with the first of two bunkers but stays left in the wispy stuff.
A Lim Kim is itching to take her eight iron out to go for the green from the sand but sense prevails and she punts her ball out, forward and on to the fairway.
Katsu finishes nine underpublished at 18:31 British Summer Time 3 August
Katsu -9, A Lee -3 (F)

Minami Katsu finishes with a birdie on the 18th - her fourth of the round - as she shoots 69.
It's enough to tie for second with Charley Hull.
But like Hull, all she can do is sit and wait for Miyu Yamashita to make her way to the finish.

Kim -6, Yamashita -11 (17)

Miyu Yamashita has hit pretty much every fairway today but runs slightly left on the 18th. She should be fine from there although she has a couple of huge shots coming up.
A Lim Kim, who also carded a bogey on the 17th, hits a decent tee shot but watches her ball roll on into the fairway bunker. Not what she wanted at all.
Her challenge has faded with three dropped shots in the previous four holes.

Charley Hull said on Wednesday she thought 10 under par would be the winning score come Sunday night.
She comes up one shot short of that mark after a round of 69 today.
It has been a valiant effort from the Englishwoman.
