Carlota Ciganda’s father, Jesus, is with her this week in Singapore and his positive attitude has helped her to climb the leaderboard at the HSBC Women’s Champions. Ciganda (-9) had the low round of the day on Friday and afterwards met with the media with her proud dad by her side.
“He’s been a really good influence to me my whole life, and yeah, when he comes, he’s very positive and when I’m playing good, he’s always telling me to have fun out there, to enjoy playing golf. I think that’s the main thing,” Ciganda explained the importance of his presence to the media.
Through Carlota’s translation, Jesus proudly told the media he doesn’t get nervous watching her. “He’s very used to it, because he’s been traveling with me quite a bit and following me at tournaments, so he’s used to it. He loves the sport and he knows that we can win or lose.”
Looking for her first career win, Ciganda feels ready.
“I’m feeling confident and happy, hitting the ball good,” Ciganda said. “I’m happy with my caddie. My dad is here, my uncle and other friends. We are having a great time outside the golf course and I think that’s also very important to enjoy yourself when you’re not on the golf course.”
