“I’ve won everything here, but I’m missing a major, I just need to win a major,” said Carlota Ciganda a few minutes after sinking the decisive putt to tie, and therefore retain, the title at the Solheim Cup, which concluded at Finca Cortesín. With her victory over Nelly Korda, the Spaniard capped off a dream week. “I’ll never forget it,” she repeated.

With her clothes soaked in champagne and an undisguised smile, the one she had on the 17th green after sinking that putt, Carlota Ciganda made an appearance in the 'Media Center' of Finca Cortesín accompanied by the rest of her teammates and the captain, Suzann Pettersen, who gave voice to the team's thoughts: "It's a dream come true.".

The main focus of the press conference was, unsurprisingly, the player from Navarre, who remembered all those who surround her on a daily basis, “all those people behind the team who aren't here. I remembered the people I love, who help me, like my family or my coach, the people who help me be who I am today. I thank them for everything they do for me,” she said, visibly moved.

Speaking about the week's events, Carlota emphasized the importance of having recovered from "Friday morning, which was very tough. I'm so happy because we've come out of a very difficult situation together. We're all very happy. My teammates really like Spain; everything has been perfect—the countryside, the hotel, even the weather. It's a week that neither my teammates nor I will ever forget," she added.

“I don’t remember exactly what happened after the putt on the 17th.”

One of the most talked-about topics has been his euphoric reaction after the putt on the 17th. “I don’t remember much or what I did, I hugged Álvaro, my caddie, I think. I’m a bit… I don’t remember. It was all very close and, honestly, I don’t really remember what happened in those moments, I have flashes,” he confessed.

Carlota also mentioned that she finds playing as part of a team "more motivating" than playing alone. "We're used to playing individually, and doing it with these teammates is much more motivating. And doing it in Spain, even more so. I wanted to enjoy every moment, the first hole, everything... I'm never going to forget everything that's happened this week!" said the Spaniard, who also admitted that the Swedish captain is her idol.

It was Suzann Pettersen who told her that her point was the deciding one. “She told me we had tied and that my point was enough. I was thrilled that it was my point, but the whole team's effort was also a big part of it,” concluded the brilliant golfer from Ulzama.
