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, the R&A said in a statement.Royal 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.

In 2013, the Super Smash Bros. Melee competitive community collectively raised a grand total of $94,683 for breast cancer research in a contest to be (re-)included as an official Evolution Championship Series (Evo) fighting game. After winning the contest, Melee found the birth of a new era at Evo 2013, shattering its own attendance records with 709 entrants to the singles tournament.Now in its fourth consecutive year at Evo, Melee shows no signs of slowing down with an unprecedented 2,372 singles entrants, and the stage only continues to get bigger. On day three of the event, the top eight finalists will compete at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, where legends such as Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan have fought before.The ContendersIn the last two months, an aura of uncertainty has developed around the pantheon of top players. Adam Armada Lindgren and Juan Hungrybox Debiedma won the lions share of events in the beginning of 2016. Then, William Leffen Hjelte surprised everyone to win Get On My Level 2016 in May and Joseph Mango Marquez took first at WTFox 2 in July after having lurked in the shadows of second place for months. At this point, who is the favorite? Its a tough question to answer. Theyre all coming in strong and have everything to gain. So what are they fighting for?1. ValidationHungrybox has never had an extended reign throughout the course of his career as the greatest in Melee. Hes had moments where he was debatably at the top, only for Armada or Mango to quickly take back the throne. A win at Evo 2016 would cement his place as best in the world, which is a title hes been craving for nearly a decade.2. The Two-Time TieArmada would love to repeat his 2015 feat and earn his second Evo trophy. Having won two Evo trophies is one of the few accomplishments that Maango can boast over Armada.dddddddddddd Winning the largest tournament of all time would safely give Armada the title of best in the world and possibly that of the most accomplished Melee player of all time.3. The 3voAfter Mango won his second Evo trophy, he immediately had his eyes on a third, which he called the 3vo. Last year, his run fell short in fifth place and hes been dying to come back to the Evo stage. A third trophy would establish him in very elite company, as very few in all of the fighting game community have ever accomplished such a task.Gunning for MoreStill, this short list doesnt include the momentum and stories that other players have cultivated in the past few months. Ever since he signed with Echo Fox this past May, Jason Mew2King Zimmerman has seen noticeable improvements in his mindsets and results. He swept Hungrybox 3-0 at WTFox 2, which may be the confidence boost he needs right now going into Evo.Players such as Justin Plup McGrath, Jeffrey Axe Williamson, and Weston Westballz Dennis have been knocking on the heavens door of godhood for years. Can they work their magic and pull off some upsets? Additionally, some players recently resigned with new teams and others are st
