Lilia Vu kept the memory of her late grandfather in mind to maintain her composure on Sunday as she collected her maiden major title at the Chevron Championship, the 25-year-old American told reporters.

"The past two days, I was very angry. I didn't feel like myself," said Vu, who started the day four strokes back after a disappointing one-over par third round."I just felt like I was getting angry over every single little thing, and that's usually not how I roll." "Today, I was getting really upset on the course, and I just had to remind me, like grandpa is with you, and he'd be really disappointed if you were getting upset like this and that you didn't get your act together," she told reporters.
