AMSTERDAM: Carlota Ciganda will go in pursuit of a repeat
victory over the next three days at the Deloitte Ladies Open in the
Netherlands.
The
23-year-old from Pamplona, Spain will attempt to defend the title she won last
year at Broekpolder at a new venue, The International, in Amsterdam,
which poses a stern
test of golf.
“It’s
hard, one of the most difficult courses on the LET since I’ve been on
tour but it’s going to be fun,” said Ciganda, as she concluded the
Pro-Am in sunny but
windy conditions today.
“It’s
not easy. It is a really hard golf course in difficult conditions. It’s
long, it’s playing really hard and the greens have lots of breaks. You
have to putt
well, so it’s important to be really patient out here. "I don’t know how
the weather is going to be, but I think it’s going to be windy, raining
and cold, so the scores are going to be high. Maybe two or three under
will lead on the first day but I think if
you have three rounds of level par you are going to be in the top
five.”
Ciganda,
tied for second at the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open a fortnight ago, added: “I’m playing good and I’m confident but I know it’s not going to
be easy
because Christel is playing well and Lee-Anne Pace won in Turkey, so
they are great players.
"I think the players from the UK are going to do
well here because of the weather conditions so I think they will post
good scores. I will try my best and we will see.”
Fellow
former event champions Melissa Reid (2011), Florentyna Parker (2010),
Tania Elosegui (2009), Gwladys Nocera (2008 and 2007), Virginie
Lagoutte-Clement
(2005) and Elisabeth Esterl (2004) also return to the Netherlands
hoping to be inspired by their own fond memories of the area, while
Christel Boeljon will be targeting a home victory.
The
Deloitte Ladies Open is being played at The International in Amsterdam
for the first time from Friday (May 24) to Sunday. Tickets cost 10 euros and can be
