Who won the 2014 Women's British Open at Royal Birkdale?

The story behind the answer

Mo Martin won the 2014 Women’s British Open at Royal Birkdale. It was her first major championship and her first victory on the LPGA Tour.

Martin finished at 287, one under par, and won by one stroke over Shanshan Feng and Suzann Pettersen. The tournament was played from 10–13 July 2014 and was the 38th Women’s British Open, as well as its 14th edition recognised as an LPGA Tour major.

Her final round became memorable because of the 18th hole. Martin played the par-five closing hole aggressively, and her second shot nearly became an albatross before striking the flagstick and stopping about six feet from the hole. She converted the eagle putt, giving herself the lead and eventually the championship.

The venue can cause confusion because Royal Birkdale has hosted several notable Women’s British Opens. Yani Tseng won there in 2010, while Martin followed her as champion four years later.
