Why Spanish ace Carlota is not in

Continent's Vagliano Trophy team

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Miguel Angel Caderot, the Royal Spanish Golf Federation's Press Officer, has revealed why
Carlota Ciganda, beaten in the final of the recent Ladies' British open amateur championship by compatriot Azahara Munoz who is turning pro later this month, has not been included in the Continent of Europe team of nine players for the Vagliano Trophy match against Great Britain & Ireland at Hamburg Golf Club, Falkenstein on July 24-25.
He told Kirkwoodgolf.co.uk
"Carlota has got invitations to play, the previous week, in the Open España Femenino (the Spanish Women's Open LET event) and, the following week, the Ricoh Women's British Open at Royal Lytham. So, she thinks that her schedule is very tough and, under these circumstances, she prefers not to play in the Vagliano Trophy match."

I'm sure Mary McKenna, the GB&I skipper, is not complaining! The Continent's loss is GB&I's gain.
