  2. 'I need to move up four places in Rio'published at 18:57 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Catriona Matthew, speaking to BBC Sport: “I had a couple of slack shots on the two par threes on the front nine and it was a bit of a struggle from there. It was not too bad a day, but I’m disappointed. 

    "The greens were definitely firmer today which made it tougher to get close to them. It’s great fun playing in front of the crowd with the last group. I’m looking forward to playing at the Olympics in Rio. I just need to move up four places."

  3. Four birdies and five bogeys for Matthewpublished at 18:52 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Ariya Jutanugarn, speaking to BBC Sport: “For me it was hard today. I felt a little bit nervous at times. My mother cried at the end. She said thank you, and that made my day. I think this victory is really important for me and Thai golf. I hope I can inspire some players in Thailand.”

    Wow, that was certainly a breath taking end to a great four days of golf.

    Well the excitement has got far too much for me, so I'm going for a lie down. But don't worry I'm going to leave you in the capable hands of Mike Whalley who is going to bring you some of the reaction from the conclusion of the 40th Women's British Open.

    ...Ariya Jutanugarn has just double bogeyed the 13th and with her playing partner Mirim Lee claiming a hat-trick of birdies in three holes, the lead has been cut to just a single shot. Who would have thought this when Jutanugarn was five shots clear at 18 under par?!

  13. Great fun playing home course - Hullpublished at 16:40 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Charley Hull says it was "great fun" playing her home course at Woburn after finishing the Women's British Open at five under par.

  14. Brit Watchpublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    As our final pairing are now playing the back nine, it seems a good time to check in on the Brits.

    Well Scotland's Catriona Matthew is leading the way, 10 under par after the first 11 holes, with two birdies, two bogeys and six pars.

    England's Charley Hull finished her final round at her home course with a three-under-par 69, to end on five under, with compatriot Jodi Ewart Shadoff one shot behind at four under.

    Nine shots further back, English amateur Bronte Law finished at two over par and Melissa Reid finished three shots further adrift on five over.

  15. Jutanugarn four shots clearpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn is continuing to play fantastic golf. She's one under for the day and 17 under for the tournament, four shots clear of America's Mo Martin, as she heads to the back nine.

    Peter Alliss, commentating on our live BBC Two coverage, has just likened her to the great Jack Nicklaus, in that she plays with the same inevitability. At 20 years old, this bodes very well indeed.

    South Korea's Mirim Lee is at 12 under par and America's Stacy Lewis and Scotland's Catriona Matthew are currently joint fourth at ten under par.

  16. Irish amateur Maguire level for front ninepublished at 15:41 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Thanks Alex. Well luckily my drive off the first has gone straight down the middle, so hopefully that's a good omen for the rest of my round.

    Sticking with amateurs, Ireland's Leona Maguire is currently seven under par for the tournament. She's playing very steady golf, with seven pars, one bogey and an impressive birdie on the fifth over the opening nine holes. Unless she has a miraculous collapse on the back nine, she will finish as leading amateur, as she's currently nine shots ahead of England's Bronte Law who carded a two-over-par 74 today.

    Ariya Jutanugarn is now at 18 under par, five shots clear of America's Mo Martin and is hoping to be the first player ever from Thailand to win a Major and the first player to get a score of 20 under par or better at the Women's British Open. It could be a record breaking day.

    And that just about completes my round, so as I head back towards the clubhouse it's time to invite my colleague Henry Ditchfield up to the first tee box to guide you through the next three hours of thrills and spills a final afternoon at a major promises to produce. 

    In the mean time, here's a quick look at the leaderboard to get you up to speed, external if you've just joined us. Enjoy.

  18. Hull happy after final roundpublished at 14:57 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Well Charley Hull has enjoyed a solid week on her home course at Woburn, finishing at five under par and earned a likely spot in the top 20. She's off to Rio next week, and is confident her game is in good shape ahead of the Olympics.

    "It was great fun," she said. "I've enjoyed the whole week. Today I played great apart from my last six holes - it was unfortunate, but I feel like my game is in good shape."

    At the top of the leaderboard, Ariya Jutanugarn has doubled her advantage after she birdied the second and watched Mirim Lee drop a shot.

    That takes the 20-year-old Thai to 17 under, and that tournament record-winning score of 19 under doesn't seem so far away...

    Scotland's Catriona Matthew, another off to Rio in the next few days, looks intent on reining Jutanugarn back in though, and has opened with two birdies in her first four holes to move to 12 under.

  19. Leader Jutanugarn up and runningpublished at 14:28 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    That's the relaxed stance of someone leading the women's British Open and 18 holes away from making history as the first Thai to win a major.

    Ariya Jutanugarn is up and running for the final day and that means everyone is now out on Sunday. The 20-year-old has shot three rounds in the 60s at Woburn this week to build a two-stoke lead at 16 under, and she successfully navigates Sunday's first hole in level par.

    South Korea's Mirim Lee (-14) is Jutanugarn's closest challenger and paired with the leader today. 

    One hole in front is Scotland's Catriona Matthew, who has just birdied to go 11 under and level with playing partner Mo Martin.

    Meanwhile, Woburn's own Charley Hull is back home after carding a 69 on Sunday to finish at five under par. Hull hit the turn in 31 after five birdies on the front nine, before three bogeys on the way in. Next up is a trip to Rio for the 20-year-old.

    It was all going so well for home favourite Charley Hull until the 13th today. The 20-year-old had fired seven birdies and was looking odds on for a top-five finish at Woburn.

    Two holes later and she had dropped three shots. Hull followed up a double bogey at the 13th with a dropped shot at the par-three 14th.

    It's still a solid round from the soon-to-be Olympian, but that has moved her back to six under par and tied 12th.

    Fellow Briton Jodi Ewart Shadoff has also dropped down the leaderboard after a double bogey at the fourth, while world number one Lydia Ko has carded three bogeys in her round so far today.
