PIF London Championship 2026: Anna Huang wins after Charley Hull’s devastating 4-putt on 17
Centurion Club, St Albans — The 17-year-old Canadian prodigy Anna Huang clinched her fourth Ladies European Tour title in the most dramatic fashion possible at the PIF London Championship, capitalizing on a catastrophic Charley Hull 4-putt double bogey on the 17th before eagling the 18th to seal a two-shot victory.
Huang, who turned professional at just 16 and has rapidly become the breakout star of the LET, finished at 22-under par ($300,000 prize). Hull, the world No. 6 and three-time LPGA Tour winner, finished second at 20-under after a final round that oscillated between brilliance and devastation.
The Collapse
The tournament turned on the par-3 17th hole. Hull, who had fought back from a three-stroke overnight deficit to take a one-shot lead with birdies on the 6th, 9th, 13th, 15th, and 16th, faced a makeable par putt that would have maintained her advantage heading to the 18th.
Instead, the Englishwoman four-putted — a stunned silence falling over the Centurion Club gallery as the ball lipped out three times. The double bogey handed a one-shot lead back to Huang.
“I just lost my head for a moment,” Hull said afterwards. “It’s golf. It happens. Anna played great all week — she deserved it.”
The Eagle Finish
Huang, who had eagled the 18th in each of her first three rounds, made it four-for-four. The Canadian teenager drained a long eagle putt on the closing hole — the signature moment of a championship that confirmed her as the LET’s most compelling young talent.
“It feels incredible,” Huang said. “I stayed patient even when Charley was making her run. I knew if I could just get to the 18th with a chance, anything could happen.”
Huang’s journey this week was one of consistent excellence: a 6-under 67 in the opening round, her best round of 8-under 65 on Saturday, and a composed 3-under 70 on Sunday that belied her age.

Title IV
This was Huang’s fourth LET title, following wins at the 2025 La Sella Open, the 2025 Lacoste Ladies Open de France, and the Lalla Meryem Cup earlier this year. At 17, she is the youngest player to reach four career LET victories.
The win also carries significant implications for the LET’s season narrative. With $300,000 from the PIF-backed event, Huang jumps to the top of the LET Order of Merit and positions herself for a Solheim Cup conversation that will only intensify as 2027 approaches.
What’s Next
The LET resumes with the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open on Thursday, where both Huang and Hull are expected to compete. For Hull, it’s a quick chance to reset after the most painful hole of her season. For Huang, it’s an opportunity to prove that this week was no fluke — the 17-year-old is here to stay.
