CARLOTA CIGanda’s historic success on LPGA Tour after conquering Meijer Classic

On a historic day for Spain’s golf after Paula Martín’s victory over the British Amateur Open and with Jon Rahm in the fight for the Top10 in the US OpenCarlota Ciganda again met on success on the LPGA tour after conquering the Meijer Classic. He did this to get his third success in the American circuit.

I did not win a contest in the main circuit of Ciganda.

Since then, successes have not come for national players on LPGA tour. Therefore, therefore, Catanda’s achievement this Sunday is the eighth global global glory of this circuitbecause it corresponds to the top of Spain’s history with three successes in Beatriz Recari (CVS/ Pharmacy Challenge 2010, KIA Classic 2013, Marathon Classic 2013). One has Marta Figueras-Dotti (tomorrow of Hawaii 1994) and Azahara Muñoz (Match Play Championship 2012).

A success, briefly, that not only allows you to meet Honey of Triumph, but also attended your golf history reference to a national code. Success came to Ciganda three years after her last great individual success, Star Damm Mediterranean Ladies Open of the European circuit (where he accumulated six wins) he achieved in July 2022.

Therefore, he had to fight until the end. After five birdies and two Bogeys in the first Thursday, then seven birdies and two Bogeys on the second on Friday and after four birdies and one Bogey on the third on Saturday, Ciganda started the last day on Sunday on the head of the table, but tied to five other women with -11 Dealing with an end aimed at becoming very resistant. These are the Korean Hye-Jin Choi, the Paraguayan Sofía García, the American Lexi Thompson, the Danish Nanna Koerstz Madsen and the Swedish Madelene Sagstrom.

But the classification has changed a lot in the final cycle. Inside, All his rivals except Hye-Jin have been deflated And it will draw a new scenario. Inside, Ciganda was imposed with -16 after seven birdies and two bogey.

Ciganda arrived with -15 in hole 18, for -14 of Hye -jin. However. In a moment of nerves, Korean placed Putt for the birdie tied to the classification and forced the Navarra Emboca to take the title. But the Spaniards have formed a good choice from the birdie and He is constantly calm, did not disappoint and sign up for one of the greatest achievements of his career.

Further restore the other Spanish was left. Julia López It was fifteen tied to -3 after a final lap of an eagle, four birdies, four bogey and a double bogey. Azahara MuñozOn the other hand, it is fifteen fourth tied to -2 after a difficult closure of a birdie and five bogeys. They do not exceed the cut Carolina López Chacarra or Fatima Fernández.
