Charley Hull dramatically vaulted up the PIF London Championship leaderboard after delivering an astonishing 62 in the second round at the Centurion Club, a score that set a new benchmark for the course. The English star’s performance not only erased the 74 she posted in the opening round but also positioned her just a single stroke behind the tournament leader, Canada’s rising talent Anna Huang, who remains atop the field after two days of competition.
Hull's round was a flawless display of precision and power, as she carded an 11-under-par 62 without recording a single bogey. This achievement broke the previous course record that had been held by fellow Englishwoman Georgia Hall since 2021, and it matched the lowest round ever recorded on the Ladies European Tour (LET). By doing so, Hull joins an elite cadre of players—including Haeran Ryu, Jessica Korda, Alison Lee, and Karrie Webb—who have also posted 11-under rounds on the tour.
The day began with an eagle on the first tee, immediately setting a confident tone. Hull then proceeded to string together three consecutive birdies on holes four, five, and six, followed by another birdie on the ninth, taking her to six under par at the turn. She continued her surge on the back nine with birdies on holes ten, thirteen, fifteen, and seventeen, and capped the round with a final birdie on the eighteenth.
This relentless string of under‑par scores secured her a solo second‑place position at ten under for the tournament. Reflecting on her performance, Hull said, "It was really good, I shot 11 under and I actually left a couple of shots out there coming in. I know that sounds pretty crazy but it was a fun day." She added that despite feeling physically exhausted after a busy schedule that included the AIG Women’s Open, she was surprised by how effortless the round felt: "I’m quite shocked that I’ve shot 11 under today because I felt so tired this morning. It felt like the easiest 11 under of my life.
I’m standing here right now feeling like I left a couple of shots out there and I want to go and see if I can improve it tomorrow." The tournament’s broader context featured a strong field and several noteworthy storylines. Three‑time LET winner Anna Huang, only 17 years old, maintained her lead after posting a 68 in the second round, bringing her total to 11 under par. Huang’s round included two eagles—on the ninth and eighteenth holes—four birdies, and three bogeys, underscoring her ability to combine aggressive play with steady scoring. Wales’ Lydia Hall occupied third place with an eight‑under‑par total after a 67 that featured a spectacular chip‑in eagle, seven birdies, a bogey, and a double bogey.
Australian Kelsey Bennett and Ireland’s Aine Donegan shared fourth place at seven under, with Bennett posting a 71 that contained three birdies and a single bogey following her opening 68. Further down the leaderboard, Singapore’s Shannon Tan, the Netherlands’ Anne Van Dam, and England’s Alice Hewson were tied for sixth at six under. Austria’s Emma Spitz and Spain’s Luna Sobron Galmes rounded out the top ten, each sitting at five under. The third round of the championship is scheduled to commence at 1 p.m.
on Saturday and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Golf, offering fans an opportunity to watch Hull attempt to close the gap on Huang and potentially claim the lead. Beyond the competition itself, the LET’s 2025 calendar features a range of new venues and the continuation of the high‑profile Aramco Team Series events, promising an exciting season for players and supporters alike. Recent headlines from the tour include England’s Alice Hewson defending her title at the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open with a five‑shot victory, and Nadia Iturrioz edging out Hull to win the Aramco Houston Championship.
Hull’s performance at the PIF London Championship illustrates both her resilience and her capacity to produce record‑breaking golf under pressure. After a physically demanding week that left her feeling "exhausted" and dealing with lingering injuries, she managed to summon a level of play that matched some of the greatest rounds in LET history. Whether she can sustain this momentum into the final round remains to be seen, but her 62 has already cemented her status as a formidable contender and has injected fresh excitement into the tournament narrative.
