Jeong Jang has secured victory in the Weetabix Women's British Open at Royal Birkdale.

The Korean was in impressive form as she finished on 16 under - four shots clear of Sweden's Sophie Gustafson.

What did you make of her win and the championship as a whole?

Very impressive, in particular from a player who'd never won a professional event on the LPGA tour. The way she played with, and outstayed, the world number one in the last round, put me in mind of Rich Beem, whose USPGA win three years ago was achieved in similar circumstances.

I think the BBC would have liked a more exciting finish, but Jang's win demonstrates that the women's tour, like the men's, has got the strength in depth that means any given player can step up and win. That's good for the game.

I've never been more disappointed by the shambolic nature of the BBC's coverage. Perhaps Jez - Host can explain why, so often, I flipped on to watch the BBC's supposed live broadcast only to be exposed to that gurning simpleton Carson?

While I'm sure hundreds of thousands of viewers enjoyed the Goodwood action, was there really any need to see so many slow-motion replays of the races when we could have been watching live golf?

I'd like to hear the Beeb's viewpoint on this, but I've emailed and no one's replied.

My thoughts exactly ButchClown. It was shocking, and a terrible disappointment. The BBC only screens one women's golf tournament a year, and this year they certainly didn't do it justice. I appreciate it doesn't pull in the viewers in the way that the Open did at St Andrews, but it was really unforgivable to have BBC racing reporters wandering the VIP enclosure commenting on celebrities (Davina McCall was practically interviewed live on TV), and have endless build-up and analysis for each race while the women were toiling away with the barest of comment. We get racing every week!

JJ was the only one that was impressive.
