The 2023 AIG Women's Open was one tournament for its first two rounds and a completely different one over the weekend. American Ally Ewing lost a comfortable five-stroke lead, while fellow national Lilia Vu took her second major of the season.
Vu saved her best game for last and earned a brilliant victory at the 2023 AIG Women's Open at Walton Heath Old Course in Surrey, England.
Lilia Vu had had a slow start, playing for even par in the first round, but she knew how to come from less to more and finish at full speed. In the end, she took the title with a six-stroke lead.
Local idol Charley Hull finished runner-up at the 2023 AIG Women's Open with an 8-under 280. Hull also had a second and third round in the top spot but was less fortunate on Sunday and could never cut into Vu's lead.
Ally Ewing, who led the AIG Women's Open by five strokes after 36 holes, saw that lead vanish in the final two rounds and fell to sixth place with a score of 4-under 284.
