The complex of Finca Cortesinin Casares (Malaga)completely Costa del Solis already alive Solheim Cup, the female version of Ryderthat starting this Friday the powerful USA team from the LPGA will compete against the less fierce and elite team from the European LET, including Navarrese Carlota Ciganda in dispute. This is the first time that Solheim, which was created in 1990, was held in our country.
The oldest golfer in this Solheim Cup is the Swede Anna Nordqvistwho is one of the vice-captains appointed by Suzanne Pettersen to lead the team to what could be its historic third straight victory. Nordqvist has competed in the Solheim Cup seven times; He was a rookie in 2009 in Illinois and since then he has not failed in any edition.
He made history in 2013 when he made the first hole-in-one at Solheim, Colorado foursomes to win the match. They contributed a total of 15.5 points in their seven appearances, during which they became champions four times.
It follows in the number of editions of Ciganda, which was released in 2013 on Colorado, where for the first time a European team achieved victory on American soil. It has since qualified to compete at all of Solheim, where the Europeans have won three times.
Carlota, without a doubt, is one of the team’s great assets, recognized for her sporting merits and considered one of the pillars for her experience in the different modalities of this competition and for the energy that he sent to the whole team. The Ulzama team added 8 points to its Solheim Cup history.
The British is equal in number of editions Charlie Hullwho was the youngest player to make his debut at the age of just 17 in 2013, the year of historic success in USA. He shared a team with Carlota and Anna in these five editions where he achieved a total of 12.5 points and three wins.
Compared to them, only one player has comparable experience on the USA team, and that’s it Lexi Thompson, and it wasn’t her best season on the LPGA, where she made just two cuts. The experience of the players of the European team will really be a degree because only three, Maja Stark, Linn Grant and Gemma Dryburgh, will debut in this competition at Finca Cortesín compared to 5 Americans who will play in Solheim for the first time.
