Áine Donegan is firmly in the hunt at the PIF London Championship after reaching seven-under-par through two rounds.

Áine Donegan remains in contention at the PIF London Championship after an impressive second-round at Centurion Club.

The Irish golfer followed Thursday's opening 70 with a four-under-par 69 on Friday, briefly moving into a share of the clubhouse lead before finishing the day tied for fourth on seven-under.

Donegan made five birdies on her opening nine before adding another at the 13th.

Bogeys at 14 and 16 slowed her progress, but a birdies at the 17th helped her finish four under for the round.

At the top of the leaderboard, Anna Huang holds the halfway lead on 11-under after a second-round 68.

England's Charley Hull is one shot behind following a remarkable course-record 62, an 11-under round which also equalled the lowest rounded recorded on the Ladies European Tour.

There was further Irish interested as Sara Byrne carded a one-under 72 to reach the weekend on one-over-par.

Anna Foster is alongside her on one-over after a second-round 74, with both players safely making the cut with two shots to spare.
