Estrella Damm Ladies Open 2022 - Of the 7 to 10 July at Golf Terramar


The player from Navarra stars in a great first day at the Estrella Damm Ladies Open presented by Catalunya and with a card of 65 hits (-7) shares leadership with Sweden's Jessica Karlsson

Carlota Ciganda has made good forecasts that place her as one of the favorites to win in this Estrella Damm Ladies Open presented by Catalunya and has closed the first day at the Terramar Golf Club with a card of 65 hits (-7).

The result of the player from Navarra, right on the day of San Fermín, it has only been able to be equaled by the Swedish Jessica Karlsson. Nine birdies and two bogeys for Carlota Ciganda, and six birdies, an eagle and a bogey for the Nordic golfer.

"I played well", Carlota Ciganda summed up with a smile. “The day was not easy., it was quite windy and the game with the drive has cost me a little, but still i started with three birdies. Then I have given good blows, I've caught quite a few greens and made some good putts.. And the two bogeys I have made I have been able to recover in the final stretch of my lap”.

The golfer from Pamplona looks comfortable in Sitges and that translates into a solid game with hardly any cracks: “When I play in Spain I am happy, I have my family, I am calm and I am able to switch off when I finish my game. Here the atmosphere is more relaxed, I go to the beach for a while… Instead, when i play in usa. I think more about things, even if unintentionally”, confessed.

Elia Folch and Miriam Ayora, in the wake of Carlota Ciganda

This first day of the Estrella Damm Ladies Open has also left the good performances of two Catalan players, the professional Elia Folch and the amateur Miriam Ayora. Both ended with 69 hits (-3), five birdies and two bogeys for the first, and six birdies and three bogeys for the second, which places them in eighth position.

Following the two local golfers, Ana Peláez, Teresa Toscano and Carmen Alonso do not lose sight of the leaders either and share the twelfth position with cards from 70 hits (-2). The woman from Malaga and Huelva completed their laps in the same way, with four birdies and two bogeys, nothing to do with the round of Valladolid, who signed a bogey, three birdies, un eagle (leaving the ball centimeters from an albatross) and a double bogey.
