Lilia Vu takes AIG Women's Open for third win this year
John Jones-USA TODAY Sports

Lilia Vu shot a 5-under-par 67 during the final round on Sunday to pull away for a six-stroke victory at the AIG Women's Open at Surrey, England.

Vu collected six birdies against one bogey to finish at 14-under at the Walton Heath Golf Club for her third LPGA Tour victory of her career and first since capturing the Chevron Championship in April. Vu, 25, also won the Honda LPGA Thailand in February.

Third-round co-leader Charley Hull of England fell well off the pace with a 1-over 73 to place second at 8-under. Hull carded bogeys at Nos. 3 and 4, got two strokes back with an eagle on the par-5 No. 11, then dropped back with bogeys at Nos. 15 and 17 sandwiched around a birdie at No. 16.

That wasn't going to keep up with Vu, who birdied Nos. 2, 9, 10, 12, 16 and 18. Her lone bogey came at No. 15.

Jiyai Shin was alone in third at 7-under after a 70 on Sunday, with fellow South Koreans Amy Yang (70) and Hyo Joo Kim (74) tied for fourth at 6-under.

Ally Ewing, who had a five-stroke lead through two rounds, carded her second consecutive 75 and finished tied for sixth with Angel Yin and Allisen Corpuz, the reigning U.S. Open champion, at 4 under.
