American Vu beat Charley Hull to wins second major at 2023 AIG Women's Open Golf, Final scores, results.

American Lilia Vu sealed her second major title of the year with a dominant six-shot victory over Charley Hull at the Women's Open on Sunday.

The 25-year-old posted a final round 67 to finish on 14-under par, and is now set to replace Nelly Korda as the new world No 1.

Vu won her first LPGA tournament in Thailand in February and then claimed her first major in April at the Chevron Championship.

But she missed the cut at the next two majors - the LPGA Championship and the US Women's Open.

Vu appeared very calm as she plotted her way to the trophy, but she continued: "I wasn't calm inside. Even on the last putt (she holed from 25 feet for birdie at the 18th) my caddie just told me how to hit it."

Vu was also grateful to the British fans. Playing alongside Hull, who started the day tied with the eventual winner but had to settle for second place, she was always going to come second best in the cheer stakes.

More: The women played for a $9 million purse, with the Lilia Vu claims the $1.35 million to the winner in the third-largest prize purse in the women's golf game this year.

Hull, who also finished second in the US Women's Open, admitted she felt a bit deflated after a closing 73.

The Californian made her only bogey after driving into heather at the 15th, but Hull also dropped a shot and it was all but over.
