WITB: Lilia Vu, AIG Women’s Open

Lilia Vu won her second major of 2023 at Walton Heath at the weekend, here’s the clubs she used to do it.  

The 25-year-old led from the front on the final day of the women’s major season. Despite pressure from home favourite Charley Hull, the American put together a superb final round to claim the title.  

Vu made only one bogey in the final round, after finding the penal heather on the tough 15th hole at Walton Heath.

Unsurprisingly, Vu excelled off the tee this week, hitting 45 out of a possible 60 fairways, an important stat when a ball in the heather is as good as a penalty shot. That helped her to hit over 76% of greens throughout the four rounds.  

It’s Vu’s second major win of the year, after she won the Chevron Championship back in April.

The set-up in Vu’s bag is certainly a mixed one. At the top end of her bag, she’s gaming a TaylorMade Stealth driver. That’s the original model and not the updated Stealth 2.  

She also has the Callaway Apex UW hybrid in the bag, something which she used very well throughout the week.  

In the irons, it’s another different brand, as Vu trusts the Srixon Z585 4-iron and Srixon Z785 5-iron to pitching wedge.

That leads into two Titleist Vokey wedges, where she has 56° & 60° options in the bag. These Titleist options go hand in hand with her choice of ball, the Pro V1x.  

Finally, Vu games a Scotty Cameron Golo 5 putter, a mid-mallet shape that features a custom pink grip.
