Watch: Lilia Vu and her caddie continue LPGA tradition by jumping into the lake after winning the Chevron Championship

Lilia Vu won the 2023 Chevron Championship, defeating Angel Yin in a playoff to claim her first major championship title.

Despite a few apprehensions earlier, Vu took the jump into the lake, continuing the tournament's tradition. Chevron has had a tradition of winners jumping into the lake. The tournament was organized this year at their new home, the Club at Carlton Woods.

Unlike Poppie's Pond at Mission Hills Country Club in the California desert, there was fear of alligators and other creatures in the new lake near the 18th green of the Club. The lake was dredged out, and alligator netting was placed for safety.

Not just Vu but even her caddie Cole Pensanti leaped into the lake alongside her.

The winner of the 2023 Chevron Championship posted a total of 4-under 68 on Sunday to aggregate at 10-under 278 after four days at Carlton Woods near Houston.

Yin was leading initially, but her two bogeys on the last two holes meant the Chevron Championship would need an extra hole for a decider. However, she couldn't challenge Vu much in the playoff as her second shot found water. Vu made a birdie putt to win the event.
