Ciganda Ends Nine-Year LPGA Tour Victory Drought with Win at Meijer LPGA Classic

Michigan: Carlota Ciganda finished one stroke clear of Choi Hye-jin to claim her first LPGA Tour victory in almost nine years at the Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan. The Spaniard birdied the final two holes at the Blythefield Country Club, carding a five-under-par 67 to end at 16 under overall, while a bogey at the 17th proved costly for her playing partner from South Korea.

According to BBC, Ciganda, 35, whose two previous wins on the LPGA Tour came within a month of each other in October and November 2016, expressed her satisfaction with the achievement, stating: "It feels amazing, obviously, after all these years." Ciganda, who has also won eight times on the Ladies European Tour, shared her appreciation for the Blythefield Country Club, saying, "I love coming here. It reminds me of where I'm from in the northern part of Spain. Very similar. Lots of trees, peaceful. I love the golf course. Five par fives, you can hit it hard here."
