American Lilia Vu beat compatriot Angel Yin in a play-off for her first major title at the Chevron Championship.

Vu started the day four shots back but moved up the leaderboard with five birdies – including two on 17 and 18 and one bogey for a 10-under total.

Yin had victory in her grasp but bogeyed 16 and 17 before ensuring a play-off with a birdie at the last.

But her second play-off shot hit the water and Vu holed a long birdie putt for the win at Carlton Woods in Texas.
