Carlota Ciganda (click to enlarge)
As I mentioned in my WTA post today, I took a little blogging break recently…gotta make sure I don’t burn out like last year…but it’s an intriguing post that brings me back to regular coverage. Carlota Ciganda might not be as well know to fans stateside, but this young lady is a winner. No, she hasn’t won the 2013 North Texas LPGA Shootout yet. There is still a final round to be played with some terrific players on her heels including world #1 Inbee Park. However, Carlota is fresh off of winning Rookie of the Year, Player of the Year and the Order of Merit on the Ladies European Tour in 2012. The 22-year old rising star from Spain won 2 LET tournaments on her way to her trifecta achievement. Not only has she duplicated her fine play in Texas, she has demonstrated her mettle as well. She turned a shot into a drainage ditch with a partially submerged ball into a birdie on 12. Ok, it wasn’t quite Se Ri Pak at the 1998 US Women’s Open, but I admire her focus and creativity. I don’t know if it will be enough to hold off the players behind her on Sunday…but you never know.
