World No. 2 Vu withdraws from Chevron Championship due to shoulder discomfort

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — World No. 2 Vu withdrew from the LPGA Chevron Championship on Thursday due to shoulder discomfort.

Vu’s withdrawal marks the first time in her career that she has missed a major championship.

The 24-year-old Vu has been struggling with shoulder pain for the past few weeks. She aggravated the injury during a practice round on Wednesday.

Vu said she is “very disappointed” to miss the Chevron Championship, but she is following the advice of her doctors and physical therapists.

“I’m really hoping to be back competing soon,” said Vu, who won her first major championship at last year’s Amundi Evian Championship.

Vu is the second top-ranked player to withdraw from the Chevron Championship. World No. 1 Ko Jin-young withdrew on Tuesday due to a wrist injury.

Augusta Women’s champ wanted to make Chevron cut. Now she could win

Jennifer Kupcho didn’t make the cut at the Chevron Championship, the first time that’s happened to her on the LPGA Tour. But if she finishes off her run at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur with a victory Sunday she will earn the respect of everyone in the women’s game. Kupcho, 25, defeated Ingrid Lindblad 2 and 1 in Saturday’s semifinals thanks to a hot putter, advancing to her second straight final. Last year she lost to world No. 1 Rose Zhang in 38 holes, but this year she’s ready to do whatever it takes.

Nelly Korda’s brilliance on full display at Chevron. Here’s why

Nelly Korda delivered a dominant display at the Chevron Championship, claiming her second major title. The 24-year-old American showcased her brilliance throughout the tournament, carding four rounds in the 60s.

Korda’s exceptional ball-striking was evident, finding fairways and greens with remarkable consistency. Her pinpoint approach shots set up birdie opportunities, which she converted with aplomb. Furthermore, her steady putting proved crucial, particularly under pressure on the challenging Rancho Mirage greens.

Korda’s long-distance hitting also played a key role, allowing her to gain an advantage on the par-5s. Her ability to power the ball off the tee and reach greens in two shots proved pivotal in building her lead.
