(Reuters) -American Lilia Vu left English hope and fellow overnight leader Charley Hull trailing in the dust as she won the Women's British Open by six strokes to lift her second major and pocket a record winner's cheque of $1.35 million on Sunday.

Vu sank six birdies which were offset by a bogey on the 15th but she was well in control as she finished at 14-under overall to win at the Walton Heath Golf Club in Surrey, England four months after claiming the Chevron Championship.
