Carlota Ciganda has achieved a significant victory by winning the Aramco Team Series Florida, part of the Ladies European Tour. This win marks the seventh for the player from Navarre on this circuit and strengthens her chances of qualifying directly for the European team for the 2023 Solheim Cup.
In fact, Carlota Ciganda has made a big leap in the two rankings that will serve to form the European team that will face the American team at Finca Cortesín from September 18 to 24.
Thus, she has reached sixth place in the world rankings, precisely the last position that grants access to the team captained by Suzann Pettersen. Ahead of the golfer from Navarre are England's Georgia Hall, France's Celine Boutier, Ireland's Leona Maguire, England's Charley Hull, and Sweden's Madelene Sagstrom.
As for the LET ranking, which is still dominated by the Swedes Linn Grant and Maja Stark, Carlota Ciganda has snatched third place from Ana Peláez, who is now fourth, but in practice, the player from Malaga would be third since the player from Navarre is ranked by the world ranking.
No changes in US rankings
The LPGA did not have any tournaments last weekend, therefore the rankings to set up the United States team for the Solheim Cup have barely changed except for slight changes in the scores of Allisen Corpuz and Jessica Korda, first and second in the world rankings.
As for the LPGA rankings, Nelly Korda continues to lead, ahead of Lilia Vu, Danielle Kang, Lexi Thompson, Megan Khang, Jennifer Kupcho and Andrea Lee.
