The Spanish Charlotte Ciganda confirmed this Tuesday “he wants to win the Solheim Cup for Spain and for Europe” and stressed that this year’s edition inspires him to be held in his country.
“It’s been a good yearI want to be there, qualify alone and Solheim is my favorite tournament, it motivates me a lot, as well as this year at home, even more. I would love not only to play it but also to win it, for Spain and for Europe,” said Ciganda at the Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield (New Jersey, USA), where she is competing in the Women’s PGA Championship this week.
The Solheim Cup is a golf tournament that pits a European team against one from the United States in a ‘match play’ format. This year, it will be held from September 22 to 24 at Finca Cortesin Costa del Sol, in Andalusia.
Ciganda came to PGA Championship after qualifying eighth Sunday, seven shots behind the winner, the Irish Leona Maguire, in the Meijer LPGA Classic, an event held in Belmont, Michigan (USA).
“The course seems spectacular to me, it is a very demanding test, we have three par-fives, long shots to the green, the greens are quite big. I think the round under par is very good,” said the woman from Pamplona. .
“I’m working on the long game, trying to hit the ball well, but not forgetting the short gamealso with the putt, I will try to do what I do every week, the preparation that I do prior to the tournament, play, train and have all the facets under control”, he concluded.
Spanish participants also include Malaga Azahara Munozwho said he will face the tournament with a lot of confidence after coming out of a tough stage.
“I’m pretty good, every time I get closer to how I used to playLast week I felt better about finally hitting the ball. I see myself like, this field is great, you have to play well,” he said.
“You learn from everything, I’m calmer. I had to get up a little bit and I think I’ve got there. I’ve seen two laps and you have to play well. You have to take a lot of fairways and greens,” he added.
