Charlotte Ciganda  won the individual titleAramco Team Series presented by PIF – Florida.
The Spaniard started the first final round in the lead, but with two bogeys on her first three holes at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach. However, the Solheim Cup-winning player quickly recovered with three birdies on the six, seven and ninth holes to maintain control halfway through her day.

Another lost shot on the 10 was quickly eradicated by a birdie on the 13, but then Ciganda found the water on the 16 and conceded a double bogey. But the 32-year-old kept her composure and pared twice on her final two holes to finish at two under par, which was enough to clinch her seventh LET title.

« Winning, I think, is always special. It's not easy to win these days.", Ciganda said. "JI think there are a lot of good players and a lot of young people are coming in very strong.
“Coming here and winning against big names like Lexi, Lydia Ko and Alison Lee – they are all great players – and also the best Europeans. I love playing in Europe. It's a great atmosphere. It's always very friendly and like a family”.
« Since I came here and played this course I thought patience was key this week. I think this is a very tricky golf course. Almost every hole has a stream or a lake or a hazard. It's a great golf course to hit the ball and you have to land it in the right spot."
« I said to myself be patient and give yourself birdie chances. I thought even five or ten people weren't going to finish under par because of the wind and the course. I played very well all three days. My putting was excellent too. I'm just very happy that I was able to do it. »
« On the last one I hit a good first putt, you have to wait and you know that's the putt you have to go in to win. Suddenly you find yourself in an incredible state of excitement, just the nerves. I was nervous, I'm not going to lie, and I think I held myself pretty well and very happy that I did it. »
