Ireland’s Áine Donegan made a fast finish to her third round at the PIF London Championship with four consecutive birdies to catapult her into third place, but did not manage to make a dent on high-flying Canadian Anna Huang’s lead at Centurion Club.
The Lahinch golfer was having a mixed day until the 14th hole in London, with three birdies and three bogeys, before exploding into life on the 15, birdieing her way home for a four-under-par 69 for 11-under-par for the Ladies European Tour tournament, which has a $2 million prize fund.
Donegan has a best finish of tied-16th in the Ford New South Wales Open so far in her maiden season on the LET, where she is currently 86th on the order of merit.
