Carlota Ciganda and Ana Peláez Trivino have both won at home on the Ladies European Tour (LET) in 2022 and the duo are gearing up for the next Spanish tournament – the Aramco Team Series – Sotogrande.
Last month, Ciganda clinched her sixth LET title at the 2022 Estrella Damm Ladies Open just six months after winning her fifth at the season-ending Andalucía Costa del Sol Open de España.
And the Solheim Cup star is relishing another opportunity to play at home in the Aramco Team Series – Sotogrande at La Reserva Club de Sotogrande.
“I love playing in Spain,” she said. “It’s my home country, I really like playing and competing here. It’s a great course here this week in La Reserva.
“I’m just happy to be here. I will have family and friends coming, so it’s always good fun and I have good nights, late dinners, and I really enjoy doing that. It’s always going to be a pretty good week for me when I play in Spain.
“I love when I see Spanish players, and there are a few on the Ladies European Tour. I wish we had a few more on the LPGA, but it’s always great to see them and play with them. I just want the best for them. I want Spanish golf to keep growing, and I think this is a great event for that.”
The Aramco Team Series – Sotogrande will see an individual 54-hole stroke play tournament take place alongside a 36-hole Team event with each tournament having a prize pool of USD $500,000.
At yesterday’s draft, Ciganda picked LET rookie and fellow Spaniard Elena Hualde while the third professional in the team is Spain’s Laura Gomez Ruiz.
Having a good time and being able to work hard on the golf course is important to the Spanish star, who is 12th in the Race to Costa del Sol, and she hopes her team will bring those two things with them.
“When I play with the team, I think it’s very important to fight and to have fun,” said Ciganda, who is 39th in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.
“We play so many times and I just fight until the end. With my partners, it is important to have fun first and then to fight, give everything and just have a good time out there.”
Another Spaniard in the field is Peláez, who made her professional debut at this tournament in 2021, and has since notched up her first LET win with victory at the Comunidad De Madrid Ladies Open in May.
The 24-year-old has had two further top-10 and two top-15 finishes since her win…
