Golf | Andaluca Costa del Sol Spanish Open: Carlota Ciganda, unstoppable after finishing with six birdies in a row at the start of the Open

El Andaluca Costa del Sol Spanish Open He has started to walk with prominence for the ‘Armada’ and a leadership for the English Cara Gainer after his formidable comeback 66 hits (-7). Among the Spanish, the best was an unleashed Carlota Ciganda (67), followed by Azahara Muoz and Nuria Iturrioz (69 hits). Players such as amateurs Cayetana Fernndez (70), Carla Tejedo (71) and Paula Martn (71), O Ana Pelez (72) also shone.

Carlota, defender of the title, showed in Alferini Golf, as I mentioned in the previous one, that she has reached one hundred percent, and hence her extraordinary reaction with three consecutive birdies (holes 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18), after a double bogey on the 11th after a bad start that led her to lose her ball.

The Navarrese not only did not lower her arms, but she did not allow the bad moment to let her down too much and ruin her return. As in his best weeks of this year, Ciganda began to go from tee to perfect green, with exits to the center of the street and direct irons to the flag. The putt paid more attention to him than in the first part of the round, and he had a couple of eagle options that did not go in, although the feeling he left was that on Sunday he would undoubtedly fight for victory.

The best news was return to Spain of Azahara Muoz after her maternity also at an enormous level and with a spectacular second nine holes, with birdies at 13, 15, 16 and 17. Nuria Iturrioz, who in the last LPGA tournaments she has played had not achieved the desired results, hit the table and presented his candidacy for the Open.

The leader of the Race to Costa del Sol, Linn Grant, y Maja Stark -Ciganda’s party colleagues-, who are precisely at stake for the Order of Merit, made 68 and 69 respectively.
