It was the 29th edition of the Women's British Open, and the fifth as a major championship on the LPGA Tour. Jeong Jang led wire-to-wire and won her first LPGA event and only major title, four strokes ahead of runner-up Sophie Gustafson. Michelle Wie, age 15, tied for third and was the low amateur in her final major before turning professional in the fall.
