Lilia Vu won the Meijer LPGA Classic in a playoff Sunday in her return from a back injury, spoiling Lexi Thompson's bid for her first victory in five years. Playing for the first time since the Ford Championship in late March in Arizona, Vu beat Thompson and third-round leader Grace Kim with a 5-foot birdie putt on the third extra hole — the par-5 fourth at tree-lined Blythefield Country Club. Vu birdied the par-5 18th in regulation for a 7-under 65, then twice more to match Thompson and Kim — who entered the day five strokes ahead of Thompson and eight clear of Vu — on the first two playoff holes.
Lilia Vu staged a sensational final round charge before snatching victory in a playoff to win the LPGA Meijer Classic in Michigan on Sunday.On both occasions Kim had difficult eagle putts to snatch victory but was unable to convert either.
Bryson DeChambeau was matched by Rory McIlroy for the lead of the US Open in Sunday's final round as a back-nine battle loomed at Pinehurst.DeChambeau, the 2020 US Open winner, stood on six-under at the turn with McIlroy one back after a birdie at nine and American Patrick Cantlay third, two back through nine.
The USGA used to have an 18-hole playoff but that all changed in 2018.
