Carlota\u2019s second tournament win and eighth LET title<\/b><\/h2>\n

Carlota Ciganda shone again in Malaga to become champion of the Andaluc\u00eda Costa del Sol Open de Espa\u00f1a 2024 presented by Oysho<\/b>. With this victory, the Navarre golfer adds her second title<\/b> in the tournament after her triumph in 2021 and reaches the eighth title of her career in the Ladies European Tour (LET).<\/b> <\/p>\n

A thrilling denouement at Real Guadalhorce Club de Golf<\/b><\/h2>\n

With a final score of -18<\/b>, Carlota Ciganda showed her best version to win in an intense duel against the Belgian Manon De Roey<\/b> (-17) and the Indian Pranavi Urs<\/b> (-14).<\/p>\n

Although she started with a four-stroke lead<\/b> over De Roey, the victory was not easy. The Navarrese had a difficult start with bogeys on holes 1 and 3, which allowed her rival to tie for the lead thanks to birdies on holes 3 and 4. However, Ciganda kept her cool and got key birdies on holes 5 and 7 to finish the first round with a one-stroke lead<\/b>. <\/p>\n

The second round, a battle of nerves<\/b><\/h3>\n

The excitement increased in the last holes of the tournament. Carlota, who struggled with the drive<\/b> all week, made masterful recoveries with the irons<\/b>. On the 10th hole, she saved par after sending the ball into the water on her second shot. De Roey did not slow down and tied again on the par 5 12th hole. <\/p>\n

But the Navarrese knew how to respond with cold blood, making a key birdie on the 14th hole<\/b> that gave her back the lead. The decisive moment came on the par 3 17th<\/b>, where Carlota holed a four-meter putt for birdie, unleashing a standing ovation from the audience. A bogey on the 18th did not tarnish her victory. <\/p>\n

Statements by Carlota Ciganda<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u201cIt is very special to win here in Spain. The Open de Espa\u00f1a has always been a unique tournament for me, and to win it for the second time is a dream come true. <\/i>\u201c<\/p>\n

About her game, Carlota commented:
\n\u201cI started with some hesitation. Manon made up some distance early, but I stayed solid. The birdie on the 17th was decisive; it reminded me of the 17th at Finca Cortesin in the 2023 Solheim Cup. <\/i>\u201c<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Spanish talent also shone at the Open<\/b><\/h2>\n

Among the Spaniards, the amateur Andrea Revuelta<\/b>, who signed a historic round of 64 strokes<\/b> in the final round, stood out.

\n\u201cIt has been an incredible week. It is an honor to win this award in honor of a player who is a symbol in Spain. <\/i>\u201c<\/p>\n
