Vu Secures Six-Shot Victory At 2023 AIG Women’s Open

Lilia Vu stormed to her second Major victory of the year winning the 2023 AIG Women’s Open by six strokes at Walton Heath.  

The American, who won the first Major of the year at The Chevron Championship in April, began the day as co-leader alongside England’s Charley Hull on nine-under-par.

Vu got off to a strong start with a birdie on the second hole and followed it up with another on the ninth to be in control at the halfway stage of the final round.

The 25-year-old then added further birdies on 10 and 12 before she ran into trouble at the 15^th but still came away with a bogey.

But Vu soon bounced back with a birdie on 16 and finished in style with a birdie on 18 to seal a final round of 67 (-5) and win the final Major of the year with a total of 14-under-par.

“I can’t thank my team and my family enough for really believing in me,” said Vu. “It was really hard for the past couple of months and somehow, they really believed in me and helped me get this win here.

“I love playing with Charley [Hull], she is so fun to watch. I remember looking back yesterday at the crowd and just wanting to play with her today. She is so great, so nice and I love playing with her. She’s a really great golfer.
