Solheim Cup golf 2026: Europe v USA, day one – live

Carlota Ciganda hasn’t had a top 30 finish since May and she’s missed the cut in the year’s last four majors. But put her in a Solheim Cup environment and everything changes. The Spaniard, who has now won 13 matches in her Solheim career, had this to say.

“I love this week. I love playing for the team, for my team-mates, for Anna Nordqvist; she is a good friend. I want to win for her.

“I think not losing today is important. That’s big momentum going into tomorrow and hopefully we can win both morning and afternoon.

“I would love to keep playing with Julia Lopez Ramirez, but whatever the captain wants us to do, we will do it.”
