Lilia Vu crushes competition at Women's Open as Maguire squeezes into top-30

Lilia Vu powered to her second major championship win of the year with a dominant final round 67 to win by six strokes at the AIG Women's Open at Walton Heath.

The 25-year old American, who won her first major title at the Chevron Championship in April, began the day tied for the lead with home favourite Charley Hull but wasn't long asserting her dominance as the Englishwoman fell way.

Within four holes, she had opened up a three shot gap, with a birdie on the second combined with Hull's stuttering bogeys on the third and fourth.

Ally Ewing, meanwhile, who led by five strokes on Friday evening before stumbling on Saturday, fell out of the running with three early bogeys. She wound up finished on four-under in tied-sixth.

As her rivals faltered, Vu turned on the afterburners with three birdies in four holes between the ninth and twelfth. She incurred her only dropped stroke on 15 before immediately responding with a birdie on 16.

And she would finish with a fitting flourish, draining a birdie putt on the 72nd hole to record her second successive 67 and a resounding six stroke win.

What a way to win it! A stunning six stroke victory for @TheLiliaVu
