Carlotta Ciganda's heroics secure Solheim Cup retention for Europe
Posted : 25 September 2023
Dame Laura Davies attributes Europe's Solheim Cup retention to Carlotta Ciganda's remarkable performance on the Costa del Sol. The legendary British golfer, known for her enduring success, hailed the thrilling conclusion of Europe's trophy defense as one of the most exciting she's witnessed.
Ciganda's exceptional birdies on the 16th and 17th holes at Finca Cortesin, securing victory over Nelly Korda in the penultimate match, ignited exuberant celebrations among European fans. Davies praised Ciganda's pivotal role in the victory.
While the Solheim Cup provided a thrilling spectacle, the Spanish venue's organization and underfunded television coverage left much to be desired, disappointing both players and fans.
Nonetheless, the European team, led by Norwegian captain Suzann Pettersen, reveled in the celebrations after a hard-fought 14-14 draw against Stacy Lewis' determined American squad.
Davies expressed her amazement at the event, particularly Ciganda's contribution that led to jubilant celebrations near the 17th green. Ciganda had been strategically placed in the lineup to potentially secure victory for Europe in the first Solheim Cup hosted in Spain, and her presence near the king during the pivotal moments made it even more special.
The thrilling turn of events saw Ciganda and Korda tied after 15 holes, with Korda making an impressive approach on the 16th hole. However, fate intervened dramatically, ensuring a memorable Solheim Cup moment.
