Nor is it the first time Carlotta Ciganda looks at the top of the rankings in a major, but his extraordinary performance after the first two rounds of the Amundi Evian Championship, the fourth ‘major’ of the women’s calendar -the first on European soil-, are exciting. The Navarre computes 134 strokes after doing per second gives 67.
The fight, however, is served, with players like Brooke Hendersonwho is intractable (he finished with three birdies) after making his second 64 in a row (128)y Nelly Kordawho also signed 67, pressing with his 131 hits in the accumulated The good role of the gala draws more attention Perrine Delacourwho is fighting to give his country its first victory in the home tournament.
“I’m happy. I didn’t get a good start on hole 1 but I managed to get a good bogey”, explained Ciganda after finishing. With birdies at 4, 5, 7 and 9, the Spaniard turned her result around at the end of the first nine holes. “Then I started hitting good shots, hitting greens. I made a great birdie at 7 and 9, reaching the green from two. In the second lap it was a pity the bogey of 10 being in the fairway”, explained the Spaniard.
The winner of the Estrella Damm just a couple of weeks ago, added about the development of her return: “I’m not badly kicked but they could have entered a couple more. I could have reached -10 or -11 overall, but the -4 of the day was to sign it”.
Finally, Carlota offered some of the keys to her good performance in recent weeks, beyond the failed cut at the PGA: “I’m comfortable with everything: with my swing, with Álvaro [Prada, su caddie] and with life. I am calm, that this is important; my parents are here, I like that too. I feel like playing and here in Evian the weather is good and I really want the weekend. Hopefully I can do well to be up on Sunday,” he said.
The good performance of Nelly Kordathe number 3 in the world, was expected, although perhaps not so much the spectacular closing of a round that was correct and that thanks to a birdie-eagle on holes 17 and 18 took her to lead in the clubhouse. The day before the American had to take off her shoes to take a soaking shot on the 18 to save par, and today she fastened her return with an eagle after adopting a different playing strategy.
