Nelly Korda ‘marched’ towards a rules official at the Solheim Cup to ask when European player would get a penalty
Nelly Korda went straight to the rules officials after her match on Friday evening at the Solheim Cup to find out when Carlota Ciganda would get penalised for her pace of play. Korda and Ciganda both played their part in a Solheim Cup classic in the second session of the week at Bernardus Golf Club.
Nelly Korda confronted a rules official at the Solheim Cup to inquire when her opponent, Carlota Ciganda, would be penalized for her slow pace of play. Both players participated in a competitive Solheim Cup match at Bernardus Golf Club, with Ciganda and her teammate Julia López Ramírez earning a half-point. Despite Ciganda's remarkable par on the final hole, denying Korda and Lauren Coughlin a full point, Korda was dissatisfied with Ciganda's slow play.
Chris Solomon of the No Laying Up podcast noted Korda's frustration, mentioning Ciganda's reputation for being a slow player on the LPGA Tour. Ciganda has faced disqualification in the past for refusing a penalty due to slow play. Korda's reaction was captured on the podcast, where she demanded to know when she would receive a penalty for the same issue.
Ciganda admitted to needing to improve her pace of play, having been fined $4,000 in 2024 for slow play while earning her position in the CME Group Tour Championship.
