The Spanish golfer has survived a good response from her rival, the Scottish Laura Beveridge
Carlota Ciganda achieved a brilliant victory at the Estrella Damm by two shots ahead of the Scottish Laura Beveridge. The Spaniard began the final day of the tournament that was played at the Terramar Golf Club in Sitges with a four-shot advantage. However, that advantage was fading and the Navarrese has suffered more than expected to retake it. “Winning is never easy, there were nerves but I like that adrenaline of fighting for victory. It’s part of the process of being up there,” said Carlota after her victory.
The first bogey of the day arrived at hole 2, after starting the day with a birdie. Despite the good start, double bogey committed by the Navarrese on the 9th hole was a warning that the day would not be easy. “Anything can happen in golf, a player comes from behind who is calm and you don’t have the best day, and everything can get complicated. I’ve started very well, it’s been a shame the 4-iron on the 9th hole, when I hit it badly and went to the left”, he explained.
Carlota Ciganda’s missteps have been used by Magdalena Simmermacher. The Argentine put together a good streak of four birdies, after another two at the beginning of her return and even became the leader to add some spice to the tournament.
Despite her streak, the portea player could not keep up and two bogeys on holes 12 and 14 they have given Carlota air, who also chained a eagle and a birdies and on the 16th and 17th holes to recover the lead practically definitively. “I was really looking forward to the 16th hole. I had played it very well the previous days but had only made a birdie and two pars. Today, with the birdie I would have been satisfied, but the eagle It has been crucial,” said the 32-year-old Spaniard, who with this victory adds her sixth tournament of the Ladies European Tour.
