Following in the Footsteps of Tiger Woods, 2X Major Champion Lilia Vu Eyes History at the ‘Home of Golf’

Renowned as the home of golf, St. Andrews has served as the backdrop for numerous tournaments, including prestigious majors. Notably, the legendary golfer Tiger Woods has achieved victory on this very course on two separate occasions. Now, Lilia Vu is eyeing opening her account at the hallowed course next year. Let’s dive into the story.

Lilia Vu to defend her title at St. Andrews and she is already looking ahead

During the post-win press conference, Lilia Vu provided insight into the event at Walton Heath and discussed her remarkable victory. A notable moment occurred when the moderator inquired about the significance of competing at the iconic St. Andrews golf course in 2024, and how meaningful it would be for her. The two-time Major Championship winner responded stating, “I am so excited for that tournament.”

Vu shared her excitement over the 48th edition of the tournament through which she will have her first experience of St. Andrews. She thinks she is going to cry when she crosses the iconic Swilcan Bridge which connects the 18th hole to the first.

“I think it’s going to be great. It’s going to be so much fun,” the 25-year-golfer, who overcame a tough challenge from English woman Charley Hull, went on to add over her participation as defending champion next year

St, Andrews is the same iconic location where Tiger Woods has triumphed with two major victories in the past. That should be a great inspiration for Lilia Vu. What could be a bigger inspiration than when Woods is involved in one way or the other?

A glimpse into Tiger Woods’ triumphs at St. Andrews

Mr. T has built an impressive and illustrious golfing career, boasting 82 victories on the PGA Tour. Among his remarkable achievements is his exceptional performance in the Open Championship at St. Andrews in 2000 and 2005. In 2000, he secured a memorable win with a remarkable eight-stroke lead, setting a record for the lowest score (19-under-par) across all majors. The record stood intact for 15 years.

Adding to his legacy at St. Andrew’s, Woods again emerged victorious in 2005, capturing another Open Championship. Demonstrating his prowess, he achieved a commanding five-shot win in this prestigious tournament.
