English Golfer Secures Fifth LET Title in Riyadh
Charley Hull stormed to victory at the 2026 PIF Saudi Ladies International, claiming her fifth title on the Ladies European Tour (LET) with a stunning final-round score of 65. The win propels the 29-year-aged to a career-best ranking in the Rolex Rankings.
Hull finished at 19-under-par at the Riyadh Golf Club, finishing one stroke ahead of South Africa’s Casandra Alexander and Japan’s Akie Iwai.
Dramatic Final Round Seals the Win
Hull began the day three shots off the lead, but a remarkable performance saw her pick up six shots in the final eight holes, including an eagle on the 12th and a birdie on the last. Her closing round of seven-under par set the clubhouse lead.
A nervous wait ensued as Alexander had a chance to force a play-off, but a three-putt on the 17th and a missed birdie putt on the 18th sealed the victory for Hull.
“Hooray, at least I can pay my house off now!”
