Carlota Ciganda (-6) has crafted a very good opportunity for victory at the PIF London Championship, a tournament on the Ladies European Tour taking place at the Centurion Club in London, concluding this Sunday.
The golfer from Navarre has delivered a second card of 72 strokes, one under par, and has positioned herself in second place, three strokes behind the lead held by the German Laura Fuenfstueck (-9). Carlota has made it into the star match on Sunday with a round in which she alternated between successes and mistakes. There were four birdies and three bogeys. Once again, she has shown that she can make many birdies on this course.
If she wins, it would be the ninth victory for the player from Ulzama on the Ladies European Tour. Additionally, it would mark her fifth consecutive year winning on this circuit. Moreover, it would also be her second triumph of the year following the Meijer Classic on the LPGA Tour won last June.
Carlota is tied in second place with the Belgian Manon de Roey (-6), a player who has also shown she knows how to win tournaments, as well as the French Perrine Delacour (-6) and the South African Casandra Alexander (-6). The golfer from the Virgin Islands, Alexandra Swayne (-3), leader after the first round, fell this Saturday with a card of 76 strokes.
If Carlota achieves victory this Sunday, she would not be the first Spaniard to win this week at the Centurion Club. Today, the team classification was won by the Madrilenian Marta Sanz. She was part of the winning quartet led by the South African Danielle du Toit. One stroke behind finished the team of Georgia Hall, which included the Spaniard Teresa Toscano.
In the individual chapter, besides the victory option of Carlota Ciganda, Marta Sanz (-1), who scored 72 strokes today with a majestic first part of the round, Blanca Fernández (PAR), who signed one of the best results of the day with 70 strokes, Luna Sobrón (+1), Marta Martín (+3), and María Hernández (+3) have made the cut. Precisely, the result of +3 is what established the cut. Teresa Toscano, Fátima Fernández Cano, Nuria Iturrioz, and Carmen Alonso were left out.
