| Ciganda Wins Her First LPGA Title |
After storming from five strokes back of Alison Lee to five ahead with six birdies in the first 10 holes, Carlota Ciganda played the final five holes at Sky 72 Golf Club’s Ocean course in Incheon, South Korea, four over par.
On the par-5 18th, both Ciganda and Lee made bogeyed when a par from either would have given her the title.
But on the first playoff hole, Ciganda, a 26-year-old from Spain who played college golf at Arizona State, made a birdie to notch her first LPGA win.
“It means the world me. It’s pretty nice to win here in Korea where women's golf is so big,” Ciganda said. “It’s been a long journey ~ But I love competing and playing and being an athlete. I couldn't ask for a better life.”
Ciganda, who played for Europe on the last two Solheim Cup teams, has won three times on the Ladies European Tour.
