ROYAL LIVERPOOL Golf Club has landed a prestigious double.

The Ricoh Women's British Open will be staged over the Hoylake links for the first time in 2012.

The event will attract the leading women players such as world number one Lorena Ochoa, Michelle Wie and last year's champion Catriona Matthew.

It means the Wirral course will now host both the men's and women's Open championships.

Tiger Woods scored an emotional win when the Open returned to Royal Liverpool in 2006. To avoid a clash with the London Olympics, the 2012 event will take place on September 13-16. This year it's at Royal Birkdale.
