Charley Hull Fires Historic 62 at PIF London Championship, Chasing 17-Year-Old Anna Huang

Charley Hull shot a bogey-free 62 in the second round of the PIF London Championship at Centurion Club, equalling the lowest round in Ladies European Tour history.
The Englishwoman opened with an eagle at the first hole and added nine birdies — not a single dropped shot across 18 holes. The 62 broke the Centurion Club course record, previously set by England's Georgia Hall in 2021, and matched the LET's all-time low mark shared by Haeran Ryu, Jessica Korda, Alison Lee, and Karrie Webb (BBC Sport).
What makes the round startling is the contrast with Hull's start. She opened the tournament on Thursday with a 74 — two over par, the kind of round that can quietly end a week before it begins. Instead, the 30-year-old tore the course apart on day two, jumping to a 10-under-par total and into second place.
One stroke ahead of her sits Anna Huang of Canada, who is 17 years old. Huang followed her opening 67 with a 68 to reach 11 under, holding the outright lead through 36 holes. Wales' Lydia Hall was third on eight under par after a second-round 67.
For Hull, the turnaround was dramatic. A 74-to-62 swing — a difference of 12 strokes — is the kind of shift that either signals a player finding something in their swing or simply catching fire on a course that gave up scoring. At Centurion, where the layout rewards aggressive approach play, Hull birdied freely and never let a hole get away from her.
To put the score in context: a 62 is 10 under par on a standard par-72 course, meaning Hull averaged nearly a birdie every other hole for the round. A bogey-free card means she never dropped a shot — no missed greens that cost her, no three-putts, no trouble off the tee. It is the golfing equivalent of a perfect night.
Hull's name now sits alongside Karrie Webb, the Australian Hall of Famer, and Jessica Korda and Alison Lee, both established LPGA Tour winners. That is the company a 62 keeps on the Ladies European Tour.
The leaderboard sets up an intriguing weekend. Hull, the experienced campaigner with multiple Solheim Cup appearances, chases a 17-year-old who is outperforming a field of professionals. Huang's 67-68 start — steady rather than spectacular — leaves her one clear of Hull and three ahead of Lydia Hall, with the cut (the score that decides who plays the weekend) already made.
The PIF London Championship is being held at Centurion Club in Hertfordshire, with the tournament running from 6 to 9 August 2026 (Centurion Club). Round two is complete, and the weekend's final two rounds will decide whether Hull's historic 62 becomes the foundation of a victory or simply a remarkable footnote.
