R&A chief executive Peter Dawson expressed his hope that the club will do what's right for golf and embrace this change.

St Andrews, the birthplace of golf, holds special significance for Catherine, and it would be a remarkable story if she were to become the first lady captain of the R&A (Royal and Ancient) Golf Club.

While the prospect of Catherine's involvement in golf may be intriguing, it is important not to get ahead of ourselves.
