Team Ciganda Victorious In Riyadh As Alison Lee Makes History

Team Ciganda triumphed on a historic day at the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF – Riyadh as they recorded a final round of 22-under par to win by three shots.

Starting the day tied at the top with Team Law, Spain’s Carlota Ciganda, Italy’s Alessandra Fanali, Czechia’s Sara Kouskova, and Saudi Arabian amateur Lujain Khalil all read the low scoring script firing 23 birdies and one eagle collectively to secure gold in Saudi Arabia.

“I think it’s been a great two days”, Ciganda said, who won the Aramco Team Series – Florida Individual competition in May. “The girls played amazing and we had a great amateur. She made the winning putt to help us go 41-under. I think we had fun and we were a real team the last two days. I’m more happy for the girls than for me, I just love team events.”

Failing to gain a shot on the opening hole at Riyadh Golf Club, the quartet soon got things rolling going two-under on the 2nd hole thanks to birdies from Ciganda, Kouskova, and Khalil – the team’s 17-year-old playing off a handicap of seven.
