LET Tour: Andalucia Spanish Open was a must to watch – Carlota Ciganda wins at home

The European ladies did it again! They proved once more that women’s golf can get as wild as the men events. Hundreds of people witnessed the Andalucia Spanish Open, and surrounded the fairways of Los Naranjos Golf Course, following their favorite players. The Spanish Open doubled its money prize from the previous year in 2019. The winner, Carlota Ciganda (ESP) pocketed a total of 90,000€. Ciganda started with a round of 70(-2), but she never let the guard down. The Spaniard shot rounds of (70-66-70-67) and took the trophy home with a total of 15-under par, finishing with a birdie on Hole 18 and having all the eyes on her.

Head Vs. Heart.

Carlota Ciganda feels loved at home but always returns to the LPGA Tour.

The Ladies European Tour struggles to offer high monetary rewards due to the lack of external support. The audience increased a little more since LPGA players take part in the Saudi Arabia events in New York that are part of the LET Tour. The sponsorships also reflect the big gap between LET Tour and LPGA.

The women players in Europe find it harder to find sponsors than the American players. The winner, Carlota Ciganda studied in the United States, and as much as she loves her country and to play for Spain, Ciganda remains in the LPGA leaderboards because of the economic benefits, among other things.

The leading players overcame all obstacles to finish on a high note.

Los Naranjos welcomed us with sunny days but yet some strong wind came through during the third round specially. Not to mention the perfomance of one of the referees towards the leading group. He made the time the protagonist instead of the players. Regardless, the scores didn’t show much red numbers except for Jessica Karlsson(SWE) who shot 68(-4), the best Scandinavian score of the day.

The last round started off calm and steady, until the wind picked up again half way through. However, the players faced it as what they are, professionals. Ursula Wikstrom(FIN) played in the second to last group fighting for the podium. Wikstrom had a strong long-distance game throughout the tournament, however her putting was not on her side and it hurt the scores by few strokes. The Finnish golfer finished 4-under par for a 7th position.

The Swedish, Maja Stark was 5-under par after round three, and she slipped into the leading group of the Andalucia Spanish Open. Stark was only 1 shot ahead from the fourth player, the Spaniard Fatima Fernandez Cano. At the end, Stark sped up and finished with a total of -11, only four shots behind the lead, and a 3-shot advantage over the third position. The Spaniard, Fatima finished strong in a 4th place after a great performance. She recently earned the LPGA card, but yet Cano behaves as if she had been competing in the Main Tour for many years now.

PGA Tour: Houston Open

The Houston Open was held in Houston, Texas at the Memorial Park Golf Course. From November 11th-14th of 2021. Our Scandinavian players struggled to make birdies, the pars kept them with high chances of passing the cut after the second round. However, the lack of birdies and sand saves put Henrik Stenson out of the competition after two rounds of (72-76).

On the other hand, his mate Henrik Norlander, currently ranked 139th of the OWGR, made it through the four rounds of the Houston Open. Norlander finished last on the leaderboard with rounds of (71-69-72-78). It was not his best performance at the PGA Tour this season. They will soon have another chance to drop some putts and climb up on the leaderboard next week at the RSM Classic, on Nov. 18th.

LPGA Tour: Pelican Women’s Championship 2021

Nelly Korda wins her 4th LPGA victory of the year after battling a 4-way PlayOff at the Pelican Womens Championship, at the Pelican Golf Club, Belleair. “I never won in front of my parents until earlier this year and I did it twice now, and in a playoff. My dad said I’m going to give him a heart attack, so that was nice before the playoff. I was like, Okay, good.” – Korda

Lydia Ko, Lexi Thompson, and Sei Young Kim are the other three great golfers who attempted for the trophy.

Scandinavia plays all their chances to bring home the gold medal. Sweden, Finland, and Denmark were represented by the best golfers at the moment.

Madelene Sagstrom (SWE) was the best Scandinavian player. Sagstrom finished T33 after four rounds of 6-under par. Clearly, the ladies set the standards very high this weekend. Sagstrom took some of her birdie opportunities to lower her scores. The amount of up & downs was low and therefore, it was a struggle to avoid some bogeys here and there. Her putting was good but the greens were not easy. The Swedish golfer was consistent and now she is ready to come back stronger next weekend.

Dubai hosted the AVIV Dubai Championship, at the Fire Course, Jumeirah Golf Estates. Denmark tasted the glory with the victory of Joachim Hansen (DEN), after four solid rounds of golf (63-67-67-68) for a total of 23-under par.

Not too far down, his mate Thorbjørn OLESEN (DEN), and Kalle Samooja (FIN) also made the Top 10, finishing 8th at the end, 4-shots behind the leader. The Scandinavian golfers tend to play better in the European Tour due to a matter of statistics. There are always more Scandinavian participants playing there than in the PGA Tour.

The Ladies European Tour was in Saudia Arabia last week where Lydia Ko took home the win with a five shot victory. She fired a final round of 65 to triumph by five shots at the Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by Public Investment Fund.

“When I was out there, I was just trying to play the best golf that I can. I knew a lot of the top names were playing really well and this is a golf course where there’s a fair amount of birdies, so I was just trying to have my fair share of them and have fun out there,” said Ko on the official LET website

In 2022 all players competing for a total prize money of 6,500,000. The course for the tournament at Port Royal Golf Course plays at Par 72.

With another strong field of participants, we can look forward to top-class golf this week. Narrowing the focus on the Scandinavian golfers, the participation is lower than usually. Only four players will represent the Scandinavians and they are all Swedish. Lets see how well David Lingmerth, Daniel Chopra, and Richard Johnson represent Scandinavia as a whole. Coming in as an amateur is Ludvig Aberg and will be interesting to see how he plays alongside the pros.

Last week the LPGA took a break, and the LET Tour received all the attention for the ladies tours. On the men’s side, the CJ Cup tournament was a battle between Rory McIlroy and the top American players. McIlory dominated in the end defeating the Americans on their own turf. The participation of the English golfers was a stellar performance all around. They either brought back a shiny trophy or landed on the top leaderboards.

PGA Tour: The CJ Cup

For the second time in a row, the PGA Tour made a guest appearance in the gambling metropolis on the American desert state of Nevada. The Summit Club in Las Vegas was once again the scene of deep shooting this weekend – with the better end for Irishman Rory McIlroy, who celebrated his 20th title on the tour. At the end of the CJ Cup, McIlroy played a round of 66 to keep the onrushing Collin Morikawa at bay.

McIllory’s Ryder Cup teammates also made the cut this weekend in Las Vegas.

Ian Poulter: The Postman delivered four great round of 66-67-67-70 and rounded off the tournament at T18. He started off strong and had 13 birdies overall.

Tyrell Hatton: Hatton also started strong getting an eagle on the 18th hole of round one, but sank in the with a killer double bogey on the last round, hole 13 sending him to 1 under par and next to Poulter at T18.

European Tour: Andalucía Masters

The Real Club Valderrama hosted the Andalucia Masters for the seventh time on the European Tour and once again proved to be a tough opponent for the professionals – only 14 players remained under par after 72 holes.

Matthew Fitzpatrick showed the best performance over four days in Sotogrande, Spain, who brought his skills on the course in an impressively calm manner, exploited the mistakes of the competition and finally bagged his seventh title on the tour. With the 69 Fitzpatrick came into the clubhouse for the third time under par and won by three strokes. “I’m happy to win here,” beamed the winner on the 18th green. “To stay bogey-free is of course something very special. It was great,” summed up Fitzpatrick, who had remained “patient” over 72 holes. James Morrison also gave a grand performance landing him at T4 and scores of 72-73-69-68. Behind him on the leaderboard although not too far down was Englishman Robert Rock who came in at T6. Although Spain was hot with English golfer’s these guys deserve the honorable mentions.
