The Solheim Cup It is a title won collectively thanks to the individual efforts of each player and, in that sense, no one likes Carlota Ciganda in the first edition held at Spain because, in front of his people, he became the golfer who scored the most points (4), including the one that sealed the victory for the European team led by Suzanne Pettersen in his confrontation against USA.
“I never thought that I would play the Solheim Cup in Spain, or that I would play this competition six times. I’m very happy, it’s been an incredible week, I can’t thank enough for all the support received from the people, my family, friends, everyone who came. It has been a week that I will never forget,” said Ciganda.
“Playing the Solheim Cup in Spain was an incredible experience. It happened in Europe and, obviously, there is nothing like it. Playing in Spain, in front of your people, hearing my name all the time , that they were singing my name , everything was really incredible, very special and something I will never forget,” added Navarrese.
“The key was when Suzann came to me on the 16th hole. I saw her and she said to me: ‘You were made for this. Just have fun, play well in front of your country and finish it’. Then I hit two unbelievable shots,” said Carlota referring to the great start and the birdie putt that tied the victory Europe on the 17th hole in his duel with Nelly Korda.
“I will never forget this in my whole life. I have won everything here, but one ‘big’ is missing, I just need to win ‘big’,” added Ciganda. Navarrese has been top-10 10 times in tournaments of grand slambut his pending subject is still ‘major’ even though he has come close to it: he has graduated third four times.
Carlota has two titles from LPGAseven on the European circuit and won four Solheim Cups in six participations (2013, 2019, 2021, 2023), the first, his debut in 2013, historic because it was the first time that Europe won the trophy on American soil .
“Friday morning was very hard with that 0-4. I am very happy because we have come out of a very complicated situation together. We are all very happy. My teammates really like Spain, everything has been perfect, the field , the hotel , until the hour. This is a week that even my colleagues will not forget,” Ciganda insisted.
