Worcestershire 153 for 1 (Mitchell 86*, Fell 61* trail Northamptonshire 551 (Keogh 154, Crook 145, Barrett 114*) by 398 runsScorecard Northamptonshire tailender Chad Barrett completed a maiden century to mark his Specsavers County Championship debut on a record-breaking day against Worcestershire at New Road.Barrett came in at No. 10 and finished unbeaten on 114 as the newly crowned NaWest T20 Blast holders switched effectively to red ball cricket and amassed 551 all out in 144.1 overs.But Worcestershire launched a strong reply with skipper Daryl Mitchell and Tom Fell scoring half centuries in an unbroken stand of 145 as the home side reached 153 for 1 by the close.Barretts innings was the highest score by a Northants No. 10 in first class cricket, beating the 106 by Gus Williamson against Cambridge University in 1960.Barrett became the third century-maker of the innings as he and Steven Crook added 145 in 34 overs - the best Northamptonshire ninth-wicket stand in matches against Worcestershire. It surpassed the 137 by John Timms and Reg Partridge at Stourbridge in 1934.I couldnt have wished for a better Championship debut. Ive had to wait two years for my opportunity and it was a decent wicket and I had to make the most of it, Barrett said. We said wed try to get to 500 which is a big milestone and to get to three figures myself was my own milestone.Two years waiting to play a second first-class game is a long time and you think to yourself are you going to play another one?. When I got the nod, I thought when I have a bat or a bowl, Ive just got to show what I can do.Northamptonshire also registered their highest ever total at New Road, beating the 495 in 1922. Crooks 145 was his career best score, over-taking his 142 not out versus Australia last summer.Ed Barnard struck in the first over of the day after Northants resumed on 345 for 6 when David Murphy was caught at second slip. Then Rory Kleinveldt became Joe Leachs 50th Championship victim of the campaign when trapped lbw - the second time the Worcestershire vice-captain has achieved the milestone.But Crook and Barrett then flayed the home attack and the former went to three figures off 142 balls with 15 fours. Barrett was involved in a bizarre finale in the battle for bonus points when blocking out the final five deliveries of the 110th over from Brett DOliveira when Northants required one more run for a fifth batting point.That was the only blip for the visitors until Crook turned DOliveira into the hands of deep square leg. Last man Ben Sanderson was dropped on nought at first slip off DOliveira with Barrett still one short of his century.But he reached the milestone soon afterwards with a cover drive for four off George Rhodes and in total he struck one six and 15 fours from his 152 ball innings.I had faith in Ben Sanderson while I got there, he said. I know he can hold a bat and is more than capable so it was a good wicket so I backed him all the way.Worcestershire began their reply needing 402 to avoid the follow on and soon lost DOliveira for a duck, caught at second slip off Sanderson.Mitchell and Fell then batted in untroubled fashion and Mitchell brought up a composed 82 ball half century with seven boundaries. Fell went to his fifty off 104 balls with a six and eight fours. By the close Mitchell had moved onto 86 and Fell 61.

TROON, Scotland -- Royal Troon voted overwhelmingly Friday to admit female members for the first time in the clubs 138-year history.The vote at a special meeting came less than two weeks before the British Open is held at the Ayrshire links for the ninth time, eliminating what was likely to be a distraction as more of Britains top links courses accept women.We have said a number of times recently that it is important for golf clubs to reflect the society in which we exist and the modern world that looks to us, said Martin Cheyne, the captain at Royal Troon. It is the right decision for the club today and for generations of golfers that will follow.The vote leaves Muirfield as the only links on the British Open rotation that has a male-only policy. The R&A said after Muirfield failed to get the two-thirds majority to change that it will not host another Open under its current policy.The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, which owns and operates Muirfield, has called a special meeting to ask members for new vote by the end of the year.The R&A said it welcomed the decision by Royal Troon and recognized the significance for the club.Our focus today is very much on The 145th Open in just under two week time, but we can now look forward to many more great championships at Royal Troon in years to come, thee R&A said in a statement.ddddddddddddRoyal Troon is the second all-male club on the British Open rotation to open its membership to women. Royal St. Georges in England voted for women members last year, and that followed a vote by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club in September 2014 to have female members for the first time.The Royal & Ancient, with headquarters at St. Andrews, governs golf everywhere in the world except for the United States and Mexico. Members belong to a club, not a golf course. The Old Course and six other courses at St. Andrews are open to the public.Augusta National Golf Club, the home of the Masters, was the first to admit female members in 2012.Cheyne said the vote allows Royal Troon to turn its attention to hosting the Open along with The Ladies Golf Club at Troon, which was founded in 1882.We can now all be focused on golf and showcasing this wonderful club and golf course to the huge global audience that this most prestigious championship commands, Cheyne said in a statement announcing the vote.Muirfield last hosted the Open in 2013, when Phil Mickelson won the claret jug. In May, only 64 percent voted in favor of admitting women, falling 14 votes short. ' ' '
