England's Hull closes in on Huang after historic 62

Charley Hull, an English golfer, achieved a historic 62 in her round at the Centurion Club during the PIF London Championship, equaling the lowest round in Ladies European Tour history. This performance broke the course record previously set by her fellow English player Georgia Hall in 2021. Hull's impressive round of 11-under-par propelled her to second place, just a shot behind Canada's 17-year-old Anna Huang.

The young Canadian golfer, who opened with a 74, showcased her prowess by making an eagle on the first hole on the second day and adding nine birdies, finishing with a 10-under total. Hull, who expressed feeling exhausted and in pain due to ongoing injuries, acknowledged her surprise at achieving such a remarkable score, stating that it felt like the easiest 11-under of her life.

Despite her fatigue, Hull remains optimistic about improving her performance and expressed her desire to review her round in hopes of finding additional strong shots. In a week marked by eventful developments, Hull's impressive performance at the PIF London Championship stands as a testament to her resilience and talent in the face of adversity.

Wales' Lydia Hall, currently third on eight-under-par, follows Hull closely after posting a round of 67 in Hertfordshire.
