Europe's Ciganda rescues half after dramatic final hole As Solheim Cup rivalries were renewed for the 20th time, Carlota Ciganda once again stole the show after Europe's top pairing of Charley Hull and Lottie Woad failed to ignite against the United States at Bernardus Golf Club in the Netherlands.
欧洲的 Ciganda 在戏剧性的最后一洞后挽救了一半 索尔海姆杯比赛第 20 次续订,欧洲顶级组合查理·赫尔 (Charley Hull) 和洛蒂·沃德 (Lottie Woad) 在荷兰贝尔纳杜斯高尔夫俱乐部 (Bernardus Golf Club) 与美国队的比赛中失利后,卡洛塔·西甘达 (Carlota Ciganda) 再次抢尽风头。
The 36-year-old Spaniard, who is the oldest player on show this weekend, let out a roar of pure emotion after holing a 15-foot putt to earn Europe what had seemed an unlikely half point in the final fourball match of the day to ensure honours are even at 4-4 heading into Saturday.
这位36岁的西班牙人是本周末出场的最年长的球员,他在推入一个15英尺的推杆后,发出了纯粹的情感咆哮,为欧洲队赢得了当天最后一场四球赛中看似不太可能的半分,确保了周六进入4-4的平局。
Ciganda's celebration evoked memories of the nerve-shredding finale at Finca Cortesin in 2023, when her putt allowed Europe to retain the trophy with a 14-14 tie.
西甘达的庆祝动作让人想起 2023 年芬卡·科尔特辛 (Finca Cortesin) 令人心碎的决赛,当时她的推杆让欧洲队以 14-14 平局卫冕奖杯。
And once again Nelly Korda, beaten by Ciganda in Spain three years ago, was on the receiving end.
三年前在西班牙输给西甘达的内莉·科达(Nelly Korda)再次成为了受害人。
The world number one and her playing partner Lauren Coughlin both left match-winning putts short to allow Ciganda, who had crucially won the 16th hole with an eagle, to deliver a stunning reprieve for Anna Nordqvist's team.
世界排名第一的选手劳伦·考夫林 (Lauren Coughlin) 和她的搭档劳伦·考夫林 (Lauren Coughlin) 都在致胜推杆上留下了短杆,让西甘达 (Ciganda) 在第 16 洞凭借老鹰赢得了关键胜利,为安娜·诺德奎斯特 (Anna Nordqvist) 的球队带来了惊人的喘息机会。
"I love this week.
“我喜欢这个星期。
I just love playing for the team, for my team-mates. We fought hard and we got half a point, which is important," said Ciganda, who is playing in her eighth Solheim Cup. "It gives us big momentum and hopefully we can take that into and win both [of Saturday's] morning and afternoon sessions."
我只是喜欢为球队、为队友踢球。 我们奋力拼搏,最终拿到了半分,这很重要。”第八次参加索尔海姆杯的西甘达说道。 “这给了我们巨大的动力,希望我们能够将其带入并赢得[周六]上午和下午的比赛。”
Woad & Korda lead best shots from Solheim Cup day one European hopes of parity had begun to fade into the shadows of the evening sunshine, with Angela Stanford's visitors seemingly assuming control of the biggest team competition in women's golf.
沃德和科达领先索尔海姆杯第一天的最佳击球数 欧洲队平起平坐的希望已经开始消失在傍晚阳光的阴影中,安吉拉·斯坦福的客队似乎控制了女子高尔夫中最大的团体比赛。
It proved to be a hard-fought opening day between Europe and a US team looking to retain the trophy following their 15½-12½ victory in Virginia two years ago.
事实证明,欧洲队和美国队在两年前在弗吉尼亚州以 15.5-12.5 获胜后希望卫冕冠军,这是一场艰苦的揭幕战。
However, despite Ciganda's heroics, there was also a sense of what might have been for the hosts, who found themselves 6-2 behind at this stage two years ago at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.
然而,尽管西甘达表现出色,但人们也意识到东道主可能会遭遇什么,两年前在罗伯特·特伦特·琼斯高尔夫俱乐部,他们发现自己在这个阶段以 6-2 落后。
History has shown a good start to be essential in this competition, with the team holding the advantage after the opening day taking home the trophy 14 out of 19 times.
历史证明,良好的开局对于这项赛事至关重要,球队在揭幕战后 19 次中有 14 次捧回奖杯,占据优势。
And the decision to send out Hull and Woad first in both the morning foursomes and the afternoon fourballs failed to deliver the impetus Europe's captain Nordqvist would have hoped for.
在上午四人二球赛和下午四球赛中让赫尔和沃德先出局的决定未能带来欧洲队队长诺德奎斯特所希望的动力。
When Hull and rookie Woad emerged on the raucous opening tee with daylight barely breaking through at 06:40 BST, they did so as the two highest-ranked players in the European side at eight and seven respectively.
英国夏令时间 06:40 天刚破晓时,赫尔和新秀沃德就出现在喧闹的开球台上,他们分别以第八名和第七名的成绩成为欧洲队中排名最高的两名球员。
Yet despite winning the opening hole, Nordqvist's gamble never looked like paying off against the formidable pairing of Korda and Allisen Corpuz.
然而,尽管赢得了第一洞,诺德奎斯特的赌博在科达和艾里森·科普兹这对强大的组合面前似乎从未获得回报。
The American duo won all four of their foursomes matches across the previous two editions of this contest and became the first to make it five on the spin with a comfortable 4&3 victory.
这对美国组合在前两届比赛中赢得了四人二球赛的全部四场比赛,并以 4&3 的轻松胜利成为第一个在旋转中进入五场比赛的组合。
Disappointingly for Europe, Hull and Woad then let a three-hole advantage slip on the back nine on Friday afternoon against Yealimi Noh and Angel Yin, who was playing only her third competitive round since June.
令欧洲失望的是,赫尔和沃德在周五下午的后九洞对阵耶利米·诺和安吉尔·尹,他们在后九洞失去了三洞的优势,后者自六月以来只参加了第三轮比赛。
They did at least scramble a half point despite loud music being played by an on-course DJ clearly distracting Woad and Noh as they lined up their final putts.
尽管现场 DJ 播放的大声音乐明显分散了沃德和诺在准备最后推杆时的注意力,但他们至少还是抢了半分。
BBC Sport has contacted the Ladies European Tour about the incident which clouded the end of a pulsating match.
BBC体育频道就这一事件联系了女子欧洲巡回赛,该事件给一场激动人心的比赛的结束蒙上阴影。
In contrast Europe's three other debutants, Julia Lopez Ramirez, Mimi Rhodes and Nastasia Nadaud, delivered in style. England's Rhodes and France's Nadaud produced a superb performance to defeat Corpuz and Auston Kim 2&1, while the big-hitting Lopez Ramirez teamed up with her compatriot Ciganda in that final match against Korda and Lauren Coughlin.
相比之下,欧洲的另外三位新人朱莉娅·洛佩兹·拉米雷斯、咪咪·罗兹和纳斯塔西娅·纳德则表现得非常有风格。 英格兰选手罗兹和法国选手纳多表现出色,以2比1击败科普兹和奥斯顿·金,而实力强劲的洛佩兹·拉米雷斯则与同胞西甘达联手,在决赛中对阵科达和劳伦·考夫林。
"There's another 36 holes [on Saturday], so not every player's going to play five matches," said Nordqvist of her plans.
“[周六]还有 36 个洞,所以并不是每个球员都会打五场比赛,”诺德奎斯特谈到她的计划时说道。
"Sometimes you've got to sit out someone, and for me, it was important to play all 12 players [on Friday], and the way the pairings worked out, that's how I had to play it."
“有时你必须让某人缺席,对我来说,[周五]与所有 12 名球员比赛很重要,而配对的方式,就是我必须打球的方式。”
During the build-up Nordqvist and Stanford both spoke of using the Solheim Cup as an advertisement for women's golf.
在筹备过程中,诺德奎斯特和斯坦福都谈到利用索尔海姆杯作为女子高尔夫的广告。
And the levels of skill, drama and grit on display only served to underline those comments, with the American players also poignantly wearing custom pins to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
所展示的技巧、戏剧性和勇气的水平更加凸显了这些评论,美国球员们还深刻地佩戴了定制别针,以纪念 9/11 袭击 25 周年。
"I just told them that I was proud of them again," said Stanford after the conclusion of play.
“我只是告诉他们,我再次为他们感到骄傲,”斯坦福在比赛结束后说道。
"We took a big swing from them.
“我们从他们那里受到了很大的打击。
When you send Charley and Lottie out first, both sessions, we took some of their best body blows today.
当你让查理和洛蒂先出去时,两次会议,我们今天都遭受了他们最好的身体打击。
"I'm excited because I feel like we're a heavyweight fighter. We fight with our mentality and we're just going to see how long we can last, and I feel pretty good about how long we can go."
“我很兴奋,因为我觉得我们是一名重量级拳手。 我们用自己的心态去战斗,我们只是想看看我们能坚持多久,我对我们能坚持多久感觉很好。”
Korda in particular set the tone early on Friday with her fifth win with Corpuz, equalling the points record for pairings set by Europe's Alison Nicholas and Laura Davies. The US pairing of Alison Lee and Coughlin were always in control against Nanna Koerstz Madsen and Celine Boutier, taking their foursomes match 3&2 as the US opened a 2-0 lead.
科达在周五早些时候为科普兹第五次获胜奠定了基调,追平了欧洲选手艾莉森·尼古拉斯和劳拉·戴维斯创下的配对积分纪录。 美国组合艾莉森·李/考夫林在对阵南娜·科尔茨·马德森/席琳·布蒂尔的比赛中始终掌控局势,在四人二球赛中以 3 比 2 的比分拿下美国队以 2-0 领先。
An out of sorts Koerstz Madsen, who talked to her coach between sessions about her swing, and Boutier were also later on the end of a 5&3 demolition in an encounter that marked Megan Khang's sixth consecutive win in Solheim matches and her eighth in the past nine - this time alongside the metronomic Alison Lee.
状态不佳的科尔茨·马德森(Koerstz Madsen)在训练间隙与教练谈论了自己的挥杆问题,而布蒂尔(Boutier)后来也在一场5&3的比赛中结束,这场比赛标志着梅根·康(Megan Khang)在索尔海姆(Solheim)比赛中连续第六次获胜,也是过去九场比赛中的第八次——这次是与节拍器艾莉森·李(Alison Lee)一起获胜。
Europe's fightback in the opening session was initiated by Swedish duo Maja Stark and Linn Grant who defeated Rose Zhang and Jennifer Kupcho 3&2.
欧洲队在揭幕战中的反击由瑞典组合玛雅·斯塔克和林恩·格兰特发起,他们以3&2击败了张馨予和詹妮弗·库普乔。
Leona Maguire and Esther Henseleit followed that up by holding their nerve to defeat Andrea Lee and Lindy Duncan in another match that went down the 18th.
Leona Maguire 和 Esther Henseleit 随后在 18 日举行的另一场比赛中鼓起勇气击败了 Andrea Lee 和 Lindy Duncan。
The victory meant Maguire improved her career Solheim Cup record to nine wins, three defeats and one halved match, to give her the highest winning percentage o any European player that has played five matches.
这场胜利意味着马奎尔将她职业生涯索尔海姆杯的战绩提高到了九胜三负和一场半场比赛,这使她成为参加五场比赛的欧洲球员中胜率最高的。
On Saturday, eight more points will be available across the foursomes (alternate shot) and fourballs formats, before the singles on Sunday, which will involve all 12 players on each team.
周六,在周日的单打比赛之前,四人二球赛(轮流击球)和四球赛的赛制中将再获得 8 分,单打比赛将涉及每支球队的全部 12 名球员。
Europe require 14½ points to regain the cup, while US need 14 points to retain it.
欧洲需要 14.5 分才能重夺奖杯,而美国则需要 14 分才能保住奖杯。
