Lilia Vu finished strong at the Chevron Championship on Sunday with two straight birdies, then birdied the first playoff hole to beat Angel Yin in a dramatic finish on Sunday at The Club at Carlton Woods.
Lilia Vu holds the trophy after her playoff win against Angel Yin in the Chevron Championship women's golf tournament at The Club at Carlton Woods on Sunday, April 23, 2023, in The Woodlands, Texas. Lilia Vu relied on her grandfather's steady hand and calm demeanor to keep her grounded during difficult times.
With his memory in her head, Vu finished strong with two straight birdies, then birdied the first playoff hole to beat Angel Yin in a dramatic finish on Sunday at The Club at Carlton Woods. The 25-year-old Californian won for the second time on the LPGA Tour and took a celebratory leap into the pond, a tradition borrowed from this tournament's former venue at Mission Hills in the California desert.
Unable to find a sponsor willing to add to the half-century run at Mission Hills, the tournament -- known as the Dinah Shore for its longtime celebrity host -- bolted for the woods of suburban Houston under a six-year deal with Chevron. "I think on 11 or 12, I was just like, `It's just not my day today,"' Korda said. "I've put myself into contention a bunch this year already. I just haven't been able to finish it, which stings, obviously, but I think one of those days, if I keep knocking on the door, it'll eventually open for me."Atthaya Thitikul made four straight birdies from Nos.
