British Open course Royal Troon votes to admit female membersMARK RUNNACLES/GETTY IMAGES Royal Troon, the host of this month's British Open, will now admit women members. Royal Troon is the second all-male club on the British Open rotation to open its membership to women. Royal Troon has voted overwhelmingly to admit female members for the first time in the golf club's 138-year history. Augusta National Golf Club, the home of the Masters, was the first to admit female members in 2012. The vote leaves Muirfield as the only links on the British Open rotation that has a male-only policy.
