LONDON， March 14 (Xinhua) -- The famous Scottish golf club banned from hosting the prestigious British Open because it refused to admit female members， announced Tuesday it has changed its rules.


Muirfield golf club near Edinburgh announced it will now admit women as members for the first time in its history.

Responding to the vote， the R&A said the ban would be lifted.


Martin Slumbers， CEO at the R&A said: "It is extremely important for us in staging one of the world's great sporting events that women can become members at all of our host clubs. Muirfield is a truly outstanding Open venue and we very much look forward to taking the championship back therein future."


Until today women have been allowed to play golf on the course at Muirfield， but they have not been allowed to apply to become members.
