The PIF London Championship reached its midway point with Canada’s Anna Huang maintaining her lead at the Centurion Club in Hertfordshire. Huang, a 17-year-old three-time Ladies European Tour winner, carded a second-round 68 to sit at 11 under par overall.
Charley Hull produced the day’s standout performance with a bogey-free round of 62, equaling the lowest round in Ladies European Tour history at 11 under par. Hull’s effort broke the previous course record of 63 set by Georgia Hall in 2021. The English golfer’s strong play included an eagle at the opening hole, followed by consecutive birdies at holes four, five, and six. She added four more birdies in the back nine to surge into second place at 10 under par, just one stroke behind Huang.
Hull acknowledged the difficulty of her second round given her physical state. She noted feeling exhausted following the AIG Women’s Open and cited ongoing injuries requiring physiotherapy. Despite these challenges, she expressed satisfaction with her performance while suggesting she may have left additional scoring opportunities on the course.
Wales’ Lydia Hall claimed third place at eight under par after posting a 67 that featured a chip-in eagle and seven birdies. Kelsey Bennett of Australia and Aine Donegan of Ireland shared fourth place at seven under par. Shannon Tan of Singapore, Anne Van Dam of the Netherlands, and Alice Hewson of England occupied a tie for sixth place at six under par, with Emma Spitz of Austria and Luna Sobron Galmes of Spain rounding out the top 10 at five under par.
The third round was scheduled for later in the week with coverage on Sky Sports Golf.
