Pranavi shoots 66 to finish in Top 20 as Aditi ends up T-17 in London
London, Aug 10 (IANS) Pranavi Urs fired her best round of the week with a 7-under 66 and vaulted to T-19 in the final round of the 2026 London Championship at Centurion Club. Urs, who was T-12 after two rounds, slipped in the third with a 78 but again improved by 12 shots in the final round to move into the Top-20.
As the Hero-backed Urs had a fine finish with 5-under 287, Aditi Ashok went even better as she carded 4-under 69 in the final round for a T-17 finish at a 6-under total of 286.
Diksha Dagar, currently the top Indian on the LET Order of Merit, had an average week with rounds of 75-70-72-78 at 3-over total to be placed T-46. She fell from eighth to 10th in the Order of Merit.
Earlier, Avani Prashanth had missed the cut.
Canada’s Anna Huang took her fourth Ladies European Tour (LET) title within 11 months with a two-shot win at Centurion Club.
It was a great battle between the 17-year-old and home favourite Charley Hull. Huang, who led from the first round, held a three-stroke advantage at the start of the day and made birdies on the sixth and eighth holes before a dropped shot on nine.
Huang made a birdie at 15 to still be in front but found the water on 16 and rolled in a clutch bogey putt; meanwhile, England’s Hull made a birdie to take the lead.
However, on the 17th, Hull four-putted and made a double bogey to put Huang back in front, and the Canadian sank her eagle putt on the last to win with a score of 22-under-par.
That was Huang’s fourth title on the LET, with her first coming at the 2025 La Sella Open, closely followed by the 2025 Lacoste Ladies Open de France. The Canadian won her third title at the Lalla Meryem Cup in May before triumphing at the 2026 PIF London Championship.
Huang, at the age of 17 years, nine months and 10 days, becomes the youngest-ever player to win four LET titles, beating the previous record held by Lydia Ko of 18 years, four months and 20 days.
England’s Hull ended in solo second place on 20-under-par after a final round of 69 (-4) at Centurion Club, which included six birdies and a double bogey.
Singapore’s Shannon Tan fired the round of the day with a nine-under 64 to end the week in outright third place on 17-under-par.
Thailand’s Patty Tavatanakit was fourth on 15-under-par with Australia’s Kelsey Bennett in fifth one shot further back. England’s Alice Hewson and Spain’s Luna Sobron Galmes tied for sixth on 12-under.
Austria’s Emma Spitz and Wales’ Lydia Hall shared eighth place with four players rounding out the top 10 at Centurion Club.
