American Lilia Vu sealed her second major title of the year with a dominant six-shot victory over Charley Hull at the Women's British Open on Sunday.The 25-year-old posted a final round 67 to finish on 14-under par, and is now set to replace Nelly Korda as the new world number one."It sounds almost unreal to hear my name announced as champion," said Vu, breaking down in tears after her triumph."I've had a tough couple of months and I just wanted to be in contention this week."Vu won her first LPGA tournament in Thailand in February and then claimed her first major in April at the Chevron Championship.But she missed the cut at the next two majors - the LPGA Championship and the US Women's Open."I thought my two wins were just a fluke, I lost confidence," she said as the tears began to flow. "But I've got a great family and team around me and they gave me belief."Vu appeared very calm as she plotted her way to the trophy, but she continued: "I wasn't calm inside.
