Dame Laura Davies, 51, widely regarded as Britain’s greatest female golfer having won four major championships and 79 events around the world, was awarded her damehood in the Queen's 2014 Birthday Honours.
"It’s an incredible honour and I am so flattered. I’ve had such an amazing time lately, with the Damehood, Hall of Fame and now this lovely news, that I feel so very lucky," she said. "This is such an historic moment in golf’s history and I really appreciate that the R&A have invited me to be part of it."
