BELMONT, Mich.—Lilia Vu, Orange County, Calif. native, won the Meijer LPGA Classic in a playoff Sunday, June 16, in her return from a back injury, spoiling Lexi Thompson’s bid for her first victory in five years.
Playing for the first time since the Ford Championship in late March in Arizona, Vu beat Thompson and third-round leader Grace Kim with a 5-foot birdie putt on the third extra hole—the par-5 fourth at tree-lined Blythefield Country Club.
