Chevron Championship: Lilia Vu succeeds in playoffs and wins her maiden major

Posted : 25 April 2023
At the Chevron Championship, American Lilia Vu defeated fellow countrywoman Angel Yin in a play-off to win her first major championship.

With five birdies, including two on holes 17 and 18, one bogey, and a 10-under total, Vu improved from being four strokes down at the start of the day.
Yin was close to winning the tournament but bogeyed holes 16 and 17 to force a playoff.

However, Vu made a long birdie putt for the victory at Carlton Woods in Texas after her second play-off ball struck the water.

"Everything happens for a reason, all the bad things," said Vu, 25, who had considered quitting the sport a few years ago.

"The past two days, I was very angry. I didn't feel like myself. I just felt like I was getting angry over every single little thing, and that's usually not how I roll."

"Today, I was getting really upset on the course, and I just had to remind myself, 'Grandpa is with you and he'd be really disappointed if you were getting upset like this and that you didn't get your act together'," she added.

Yin, along with fellow countryman Allisen Corpuz, who ended on seven-under after a 74 and held the lead through 13 holes, started the day at the top of the leaderboard.

"Just wasn't hitting it very good. Honestly, I held it together, and then 16 and 17 really just was like bad club decision," said Yin.
"Obviously in the play-off hole, I just didn't hit a good shot. It just kind of spoke a lot about today."

American Nelly Korda holed an eagle putt on 18 to finish third, one shot back, after missing the tournament a year ago following surgery for a blood clot in her arm. Her performance will see her move back to the top of the world rankings.
