Two games and two wins for Charlotte Ciganda nasa Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play at Shadow Creek Course in Las Vegas. On Thursday, the golfer from Navarra defeated Frenchman Paulina Roussin Bouchard 3 and 1 in a controversial match with alternatives on the scoreboard.
Navarrese thus reaches the third and final day of the round robin phase depending solely on him. He leads his group with two points and the pass was played this Friday against Ayaka Furue, the Japanese, who beat Angel Yin. Both Yin and Bouchard were eliminated, so Carlota and Furue played it against each other.
The advantage for Carlota is that she is worth two results: victory and draw. Meanwhile, the Japanese are only serving to win.
In Group 1, Brittany Altomare erased a three-hole deficit and stunned Australian Minjee Lee, 2-1. German Caroline Masson led the group to 2-0 after beating South Korean Youngin Chun 2-1.
The 64 players were divided into 16 groups of four in a round robin group stage. The group winners will advance to a round of 16 stages.
In addition to Masson and Ciganda, 9 other players won on Thursday for the second consecutive day: Tiffany Chan, in Group 2; Ji Eun-Hee, of Group 4; Jenny Shin, of Group 6; Paula Reto, of Group 7; Gaby López, of Group 8; Madelene Sagstrom, of Group 12; Choi Hye-Jin, in Group 13; Lilia Vu, of Group 14; and Jodi Ewart Shadoff, in Group 15.
