Carlota Cigandathe only Spanish golfer in european team of Solheim Cup 2023, appeared this Wednesday at an official press conference and was very clear in his first statement that “it is something incredible that the Solheim Cup is played here in Finca Cortesin, in Spain. The truth is that until you get here you don’t realize the tournament, everything it involves, all the tents, everything organized and arranged. I think it is something unique, beautiful and good. I hope it will be a good week for Europe and the truth is that I am very happy to be here. And looking forward to Friday. It will be amazing to win this Solheim Cup in Spain with my people, with my family… It will be a dream. “We will try, we have a good team and hopefully on Sunday we can win it and celebrate it.”
Asked about the evolution of the man and his game, from his debut at Solheim in 2013 to now, Navarrese explained: “Yes, in 2013 he was on the European Tour for several years, so I think he is a rookie, obviously, and the team above all has that desire, that energy that never ends. You can do whatever that week, whatever it takes. And as a player now I have more experience. In the end, as the years go by as a golfer, you learn. You play every day, every week is never enough and you can improve every day. The difference? I said, more experience, on the field a little more I’m calm, control my emotions better. In the end, these are weeks of a lot of adrenaline, a lot of tension and I think that control will help you a little.”
Europe has a good team and the possibility to win the cup for the third consecutive edition. “Is there euphoria?” They asked her and this is what Ulzama’s responded: “Yes, in the end the team is good, it’s the ranking and it is what it is. , but then we know that it’s clear that to win everyone has to do their own things. good as always “They have great players, it is a young team and in the end we all know each other, we play in the LPGA and I think it will be a very close Solheim in terms of results.”
In this sense, the woman from Pamplona pointed out that maybe Europe has players with more experience and in the US more ‘newbies’. “Experience always helps, but it’s true that the Americans also have five rookies but two of them won three Grand Slams this year. I think when you win majors you’re ready to play every week. And the rookies of today. They are not like the rookies of ten years ago. They are more prepared, the coaches know more about the technology, they are the same and that is why they started playing and winning. Once you already have Lilia (Vu) who beat both of you ‘big. ones’, Allisen Corpuz who won the US Open at Pebble Beach…. They are players who may be playing in their first Solheim but have had a very good or very average year. In this Solheim there are many levels,” Ciganda emphasized.
Carlota considers that Finca Cortesín may not be the best course for spectators, with many ups and downs, but the Navarrese believes that when the Solheim is held in Spain, and more specifically in Andalusia, “I want have more. Spanish in The truth is that I miss Azahara (Muñoz) and I am sad that he is not here (he lives a few kilometers away, in San Pedro de Alcántara, when he is in our country). Especially which is here in Spain. , in Andalusia, which is her home. But in the end they are the decisions of the captain, it is her team and we have to respect it,” he said.
Finally, he did not reveal anything about what was happening in the team room of the European team, because if the captain Suzanne Pettersen The couples are clear. “Yes, the captain was very clear from day one and he communicated to us a little bit of an idea that he had who was going to play with whom, who was going to play in the back four…But they said to us No, that’s not coming out in the ‘team room’, so I can’t tell you much. But everyone knows what they have to do each day and who they’re going to play with. Can I give you a clue? I’m going to play with a Swedish girl. There few. Almost half the team…” was his last message.
