Anna Huang kept a slender advantage over Charley Hull as they entered the final day of the PIF London Championship, after both players posted impressive scores in the third round. Huang’s remarkable 65, the best round of the day on the course, left her just three strokes ahead of Hull, who had surged forward with a six‑under 67 that featured nine birdies. The Canadian’s performance solidified her position at the top of the leaderboard, while Hull’s strong showing kept the competition tight and set up an exciting showdown for Sunday’s concluding round. Hull’s resurgence began with a record‑breaking 62 in the second round, a score that temporarily vaulted her into the lead.
In the third round she continued to press, carding a 67 that included a flurry of birdies on both halves of the course. On the front nine she recorded four birdies but also slipped into two bogeys, while the back nine was more forgiving with five birdies and only a single bogey. This balanced effort propelled her into second place, just three strokes behind Huang, and demonstrated why the five‑time Ladies European Tour (LET) champion remains a formidable contender. Reflecting on her round, Hull admitted she did not get off to a perfect start.
"I didn't start off too well," she said. "I didn't birdie the first after a decent drive and then I was one‑over after three or four holes.
Then I bounced back and felt like I played pretty solidly. I'm just tired and can't wait to get into my bed and for a week off." Despite the fatigue, Hull expressed admiration for Huang’s talent, noting the young Canadian’s all‑round game. "Anna is a really good player. I was really impressed by her game.
She's only young and I think we will definitely see her out on the LPGA Tour next year. She's a really good player and she's got the whole game," Hull added. The tournament also featured notable performances from other players on the LET circuit. Irish golfer Aine Donegan produced a crisp 69, which included five birdies, moving her into third place on the leaderboard.
Thailand’s Patty Tavatanakit, who had stumbled with a one‑over 74 in the opening round, rebounded spectacularly with a seven‑under 66, positioning herself just behind Donegan. Welsh competitor Lydia Hall matched Tavatanakit’s total of ten‑under, sharing the same spot on the leaderboard. England’s contingent was well represented as well.
Alice Hewson, despite a challenging round that saw her post a 73, remained in the top ten, sitting at ten‑under overall. Georgia Hall and Cara Gainer added depth to the English presence, sitting at four‑under and three‑under respectively, and both were within striking distance of the leaders as the tournament entered its final day. The stakes are high for the concluding round, which will be broadcast live from 1 p.m. on Sunday on Sky Sports Golf.
