Luna Sobron is playing her nineteenth tournament of 2024 this week and, if there is one thing she can be satisfied with, it is the consistency she is showing. He has made 17 cuts and is on his way to eighteenth, as today the Aramco Team Series in Riyadh (fifth and final round) started in an unbeatable position. At the end of the first round, she shares the lead (65 strokes, -7) with the Slovenian Pia Babnik and the British Charley Hull.

Other Spaniards are also ahead in this tournament belonging to the Ladies European Tour (LET) calendar, such as Carlota Ciganda, who is fourth after scoring 66 strokes, and Nuria Iturrioz, who completed her first 18 holes in 68 strokes. María Hernández shot 69, compared to Carmen Alonso’s 70 and Fátima Fernández Cano’s 71. Ana Peláez is on par.
Sobron achieved a great result playing in the morning shift, and he had only been able to play nine holes on Tuesday and another nine on Wednesday on a course he is going to for the first time. Luna attributed his great result to his good work on the greens: “My putt was ‘on fire’, I hit almost all of them. I have changed my putter and now I am using AIMPOINT (a putt drop reading system that also tells you where you missed when the ball doesn’t go in), so I feel like everything has become a lot clearer to me. At the moment victory eludes the Spaniard this year, but her performance in the LET this year is leading her to rise steadily in the world ranking.
Carlota Ciganda has also had a very successful start and the Navarrese is very well positioned to seek her first victory this year. In the first part of the course he was close in several tournaments, even achieving two ‘top 10’ in Aramco Series events. Ciganda made six birdies and did not commit any bogey.
