LPGA TOUR | Solheim Cup  

Spain’s Carlota Ciganda stuck her Pro V1x golf ball to two feet on the par-3 17th Sunday at Finca Cortesin, setting up the birdie that clinched her singles victory and the Solheim Cup for Team Europe. 

  • Ciganda’s point was the sixth and final point of the day for Europe, bringing their total to 14 – enough to retain the cup. 
  • Titleist golf ball players secured all six European points on Sunday with Leona Maguire (Pro V1), Anna Nordqvist (Pro V1), Caroline Hedwall (Pro V1), Maja Stark (Pro V1) and Ciganda all winning their matches outright. Georgia Hall (Pro V1x) and Gemma Dryburgh (Pro V1x) each secured half points. 
  • All square after the 15th, Ciganda made consecutive birdies on 16 and 17 to win her match, 2 up.
  • No one earned more points over the three days than Ciganda, who went a perfect 4-0-0 on home soil. 
  • “I'm very happy to win the four points in Spain in front of the home crowd. … I think there is nothing like this,” Ciganda said. “To play in Spain in front of your home crowd on Spanish soil, and to have my name being chanted, it's really amazing, very special and just something that I won't forget. 
  • Hedwall also provided Europe a crucial point late Sunday, having been 3-down with six holes to play before making birdies on Nos. 13, 14, 16, 17 and 18 to win, 2 up.
  • In total, 10 ½ of the 12 points earned Sunday were by Pro V1 and Pro V1x players, including U.S. match winners Megan Khang (Pro V1), Danielle Kang (Pro V1x), Angel Yin (Pro V1) and Lilia Vu (Pro V1x). Cheyenne Knight (Pro V1) earned a half point.

  • Pro V1 player Carlota Ciganda, the Cup’s leading point-getter, won all four of her matches playing a Pro V1x.
