Lilia Vu came from four shots behind to win her first major in a playoff over fellow southern Californian Angel Yin at the Chevron Championship in The Woodlands, Texas, on Sunday, April 23.

In the playoff, the safe play is to avoid the pond short of the green at the par-5 18th hole at The Club at Carlton Woods—and Yin was able to save par after taking a drop following her approach shot that landed in the water hazard.
