Highlights: Hull four-putts late as Huang, 17, eagles last to win on LET
Charley Hull grabbed a one-shot lead through 16 holes Sunday at the LET's PIF London Championship. But she cam undone on No. 17 and 17-year-old Anna Huang eagled the 18th to win.

With so much attention on youth the last few weeks, don’t overlook Anna Huang. She made it through Ladies European Tour qualifying at age 16, and the Canadian has not missed a beat.

Huang was caught in a duel with Charley Hull on Sunday in the PIF London and held her nerve. Hull four-putted for double bogey on the 17th hole and Huang closed with an eagle to win by two. The 17-year-old now has four LET victories in the last 11 months.

When she won in Morocco in May, Huang became the youngest player with three LET wins, surpassing records previously held by Lydia Ko.

“I’ve always looked up to Lydia, she’s always been my idol growing up. There’s so much to admire about her game. She’s so calm and composed,” Huang said.

Huang’s fourth victory allowed her to break into the top 50 in the women’s world ranking at No. 43, and she moved to No. 2 behind Casandra Alexander on the tour’s Order of Merit.
