News about Anna Nordqvist

MALAGA ISLAND OF THE SLOW JATES. The snail is queen in this land of the slow. The magnificent drama of this Solheim Cup has rolled out at a tumultuous pace, so it is perhaps only correct that Europe's remarkable comeback to 8-8 has been led by Carlota Ciganda. It has been a fascinating match, one that went largely in favour of the Americans after one bruising session, but it now stands level for four singles. For the first time this week, Finca Cortesin's momentum favors Europe. And it's largely due to the brilliance of a Spaniard who was barred from the Evian Championship just two months ago due to her playing speed. Ciganda is being discussed in much kinder terms, and rightly so on a course where rounds are taking longer than five and a half hours.

For the 2023 Solheim Cup, Dame Laura Davies, Anna Nordqvist, and Caroline Martens have been named as the European vice-captains. The trio will assist captain Suzann Pettersen in their match against the United States in Andalucia next September. Davies will be a vice captain of Europe's third straight event, having aided Europe in 2019 and 2021, while Nordqvist, a three-time major champion, makes the switch from playing to being.
