Spain's Carlota Ciganda has won the Western Conference Regional Final of the American University Circuit, contributing decisively to her university, Arizona State, participating in the NCAA Grand Final, which will take place from May 19 to 22 in Maryland.

Carlota Ciganda, putting on a masterclass, finished her participation in this tournament with 10 under par, with scores of 67, 68 and 71 strokes that allowed her to finish one stroke ahead of Jennifer Song, from the University of Southern California, the team where the Spanish player Belén Mozo plays, who on this occasion finished in fifth position in the individual standings and who, like Carlota Ciganda and Azahara Muñoz – also a member of Arizona State, sixth place in the individual standings – will be present in the grand Final that will be held in Maryland.

Very focused and brilliant during the first two days, Carlota Ciganda found more difficulties during the third round, where the growing pressure from Jennifer Song did not affect her at the decisive moment, when Carlota Ciganda made good putts on holes 17 and 18 to secure first place on the leaderboard.

Besides Carlota Ciganda from Navarre and Azahara Muñoz and Belén Mozo from Andalusia, three other Spanish players will be present at the NCAA Women's Final. María Hernández, also from Navarre, finished fifth in the Central Conference Final, helping Purdue University, where she has played for the past few years, reach the NCAA Final as the second-place finisher in this preliminary tournament.

The same will happen to Galician Marta Silva and Andalusian Carolina Andrade, both from the University of Georgia, which occupied eighth place in the Eastern Conference, precisely the limit that gives access to the grand Final.

Outside of that barrier were the teams of Madrid natives Araceli Felgueroso (University of Coastal Carolina) and Patricia Sanz (Purdue University).
