Lilia Vu emerged victorious at the Meijer LPGA Classic after a thrilling playoff on Sunday, marking her return from a back injury. The playoff saw Vu clinch the title by sinking a crucial 5-foot birdie putt on the third extra hole, securing her fifth LPGA Tour win. Vu's triumph was particularly poignant as she reflected on the challenges she faced just two months prior, expressing gratitude for her remarkable comeback.
Former champion Lexi Thompson put up a strong fight, aiming for her first victory in five years. Despite her valiant efforts, Thompson fell short in the playoff alongside Grace Kim, who had led after the third round. The intense competition culminated in Vu's impressive birdie streak in the final holes of regulation, ultimately leading to a dramatic victory.
