Lilia Vu thought she’d see Taylor Swift after missing her flight on Sunday but instead won a major. She’s back at Wilshire, where she played at UCLA

As a student-athlete at UCLA, Vu played Wilshire Country Club every Wednesday morning with her team.

After weather pushed back tee times for the final round of the Chevron Championship, Lilia Vu thought she might as well go to the Taylor Swift concert in Houston that night after missing her 8 p.m. flight.

But then she became the first player to win an LPGA major championship coming from outside the top 10 since Sherri Turner won the LPGA Championship in 1988. Swift would have to wait.

After landing in Los Angeles at 3 p.m. Monday, Vu and her parents went straight to their favorite restaurant – Thanh My in Westminster – and then packed for another three-week stretch.

Vu opened the JM Eagle LA Championship with 2-under 69 in her first round as a major champion. As a student-athlete at UCLA, Vu played Wilshire Country Club every Wednesday morning with her team.

“It’s nostalgia,” said Vu of coming back to the LA club, “and there’s really no golf course quite like Wilshire. I don’t think you can really compare it to anything in my opinion because they’re just so different from the typical surrounding LA courses around here. It’s not easy. Putting is going to be difficult. I think it’s going to be difficult for everybody”

Vu, the winningest player in UCLA history with eight titles, is one of six Bruins in the field this week.

Longtime UCLA coach Carrie Forsyth announced her retirement from coaching on Monday.

In 24 years as head coach at UCLA, Forsyth led the Bruins to two NCAA titles, nine NCAA Regional Championships and 74 tournament victories.

After the NCAA postseason, Forsyth will take on a newly-created role as a special assistant to The Alice and Nahum Lainer Family Director of Athletics Martin Jarmond.
