Charley Hull dramatically vaulted up the standings at the PIF London Championship after posting an astonishing 62 in the second round at the Centurion Club, a score that not only set a new course record but also tied the lowest round ever recorded on the Ladies European Tour (LET). Hull entered the day trailing the leader, Canada’s 17‑year‑old prodigy Anna Huang, by a single stroke after a modest opening round of 74, but her flawless performance on day two erased that gap and placed her in solo second place at ten under par.
Hull’s round was a masterclass in precision and confidence. She began with an eagle on the first tee, instantly announcing her intent. This was followed by a string of three consecutive birdies on holes four, five and six, and another birdie on the ninth, propelling her to six under at the turn.
The momentum continued as she added birdies on the tenth, thirteenth, fifteenth and seventeenth holes, before sealing the round with a final birdie on the eighteenth. The result was an 11‑under‑par round, matching the LET’s all‑time low and eclipsing the previous Centurion Club record set by fellow Englishwoman Georgia Hall in 2021. When asked about her extraordinary day, Hull admitted she was surprised by the ease with which she produced the score. "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 said, adding that she felt unusually fatigued coming into the round after a grueling schedule that included the AIG Women’s Open. "I have been so tired this week, exhausted from the last couple of weeks especially after the AIG Women's Open last week. I feel pretty tired and my body is in bits. I have got a few ongoing injuries, so I've been having a lot of physio.
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." Hull’s achievement places her alongside LET legends such as Haeran Ryu, Jessica Korda, Alison Lee and Karrie Webb, all of whom have recorded rounds of 11 under par.
The significance of her performance extends beyond personal glory; it underscores the increasing depth of talent on the tour and highlights the competitive nature of the PIF London Championship, a tournament that has quickly become a focal point of the 2025 LET season. Meanwhile, Anna Huang maintained her lead after posting a solid 68, keeping her total at 11 under par.
The Canadian teenager’s round featured two eagles—on the ninth and eighteenth holes—four birdies and three bogeys, demonstrating her ability to combine aggressive play with steady scoring. Her poise under pressure at such a young age has drawn comparisons to past LET prodigies and suggests a bright future ahead.
Trailing closely were Wales’ Lydia Hall, who moved into outright third place with a 67 that included a spectacular chip‑in eagle, seven birdies, a bogey and a double bogey, leaving her at eight under. Australia’s Kelsey Bennett and Ireland’s Aine Donegan shared fourth place on seven under, each posting respectable rounds that kept them within striking distance of the leaders. The leaderboard also featured a tightly packed group vying for top‑ten positions: Singapore’s Shannon Tan, the Netherlands’ Anne Van Dam, England’s Alice Hewson, Austria’s Emma Spitz and Spain’s Luna Sobron Galmes all sat at six under, while a handful of other competitors hovered around five under.
The third round of the tournament is scheduled to commence at 1 p.m. on Saturday and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Golf, offering fans worldwide a chance to witness whether Hull can build on her momentum and possibly overtake Huang, or if the young Canadian will defend her lead.
The event continues to attract attention not only for the high‑level golf on display but also for the growing commercial interest in the LET, with sponsors such as PIF and Aramco investing heavily in the sport’s development. Beyond the competition itself, the PIF London Championship provides a platform for emerging talent to showcase their skills on a prominent stage. The tournament’s setting at the Centurion Club, a course renowned for its challenging layout and immaculate conditioning, tests players’ strategic acumen and shot‑making abilities.
Hull’s flawless, bogey‑free round demonstrates how a golfer can capitalize on favorable conditions while maintaining unwavering focus. As the tournament progresses, the narrative will likely center on the duel between Hull’s experienced composure and Huang’s youthful exuberance.
Both players have demonstrated the capacity to produce low scores under pressure, and the final rounds will be a true test of endurance, mental strength, and tactical execution. For those interested in following the action or experiencing the venue firsthand, ticket information and live streaming links are available through the official LET website and associated broadcasters.
Golf enthusiasts are also encouraged to explore the broader offerings of the UK and Ireland’s extensive network of courses, with over 1,700 venues listed for booking across the region. In summary, Charley Hull’s record‑tying 62 not only catapulted her into contention but also enriched the storyline of a tournament already brimming with talent and excitement.
Whether she can sustain this level of play and challenge the leading Canadian, or whether Anna Huang will continue her impressive run, remains to be seen. What is certain is that the PIF London Championship will continue to deliver high‑quality golf and memorable moments for fans and players alike.
