Ciganda ends LPGA title drought with Meijer Classic win
The veteran Spaniard, who had been part of a six-way tie for the lead after Saturday's third round, closed with a five-under-par 67 to clinch her first win since winning in Mexico in 2016.
Ciganda snatched the lead to move to 16 under after back-to-back birdies on the 17th and 18th holes, edging her just in front of South Korea's Choi Hye-jin, who shot a closing 68 to finish on 15 under.
Lee Somi was third after a dazzling seven-under-par 65 to finish on 14 under, ahead of three players tied on 13 under including France's Celine Boutier and US star Lexi Thompson.
But the day belonged to Ciganda, whose round included seven birdies with two bogeys.
'Winning is always very special,' Ciganda said afterwards.
'(The last) was in Mexico in 2016. I wanted to win in the US and I think winning against all these really good players -- it's very special.
'I think a lot of mental work that I put in on these months and years. I think when you win it's when you realize all the hard work pays off.'

Motorcycling-Marquez banking on Ducati for first Austrian GP win
FILE PHOTO: MotoGP - Czech Republic Grand Prix - Masaryk Circuit, Brno, Czech Republic - July 20, 2025 Ducati Lenovo Team's Marc Marquez in action during the MotoGP race REUTERS/David W Cerny/File Photo (Reuters) -Marc Marquez has never won the Austrian Grand Prix, having bean beaten by a red Ducati to the chequered flag on three occasions, but the Spaniard believes this year could be different. Although Marquez won multiple world titles with Honda, he finished second at the Red Bull Ring three years in a row from 2017-2019, twice behind Andrea Dovizioso and once behind Jorge Lorenzo -- both of whom rode for Ducati at the time. Marquez has not finished on the podium in Austria since 2019 but as he arrives from the summer break with a 120-point lead over his brother Alex in the championship, the Ducati rider is seeking his ninth win of the season. "It was super close for many years here in Austria. I always lose against red bikes, with the amazing Dovizioso and amazing Lorenzo. But now I'm riding that red bike! So let's see if we can fight for the victory," Marquez told reporters on Thursday. "Of course, starting the second part of the season with a 120-point advantage, the only one that can lose the championship is you. "I will need to control myself in some races because you cannot be the fastest out there in every session, every practice and every race." Although Marquez has the strongest bike on the grid, so does his teammate Francesco Bagnaia who is unbeaten in Austria since 2022. "He won the last three years here, so I believe he will be fast," Marquez said. "He brakes super hard and it's one of the circuits why he won a lot, because the brake point is super important." Bagnaia, however, has struggled with the braking on the GP25 bike and sits third in the standings -- 168 points behind Marquez -- with one win all season. The twice MotoGP champion spent the break watching races from seasons past to understand why he has struggled this year. "I'm looking forward to finding back my speed and fighting for wins because I rewatched many races from last year and the previous year, seeing how competitive I was in the fight, following others, overtaking, braking super hard," he said. "And watching this season, I was a completely different Pecco - nothing comparable. So I want to change this thing and be similar to last year."

‘Starting from scratch': Alonso's Real Madrid start La Liga with fresh energy
MADRID, Aug 14 — Real Madrid, featuring several new signings, approach the new season with fresh hope under recently-appointed coach Xabi Alonso, looking to turn the page on a disappointing end to the Carlo Ancelotti era with 'ambitious' football. Former Liverpool and Los Blancos midfielder Alonso saw at the Club World Cup in the United States this summer there is plenty of work to do, as Paris Saint-Germain thrashed Madrid 4-0 in the semi-final. 'Things are going to be different... we are starting from scratch,' said Alonso, although some of his findings from the tournament will undoubtedly influence his approach. Madrid fans also got their first glimpse of the Basque tactician's plans, and also of England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold. Alonso showed tactical flexibility, utilising both a four-man and three-man defence, whereas his predecessor Ancelotti tended to stick with four at the back and was criticised for not being adaptive enough in games. By contrast Alonso was keen to adjust things during matches if he could, including the positioning of his players, and keen to impress on his squad they must all help defensively and with pressing. 'We need and want everyone to defend — the 11 players on the pitch have to be involved defensively,' said Alonso during the tournament, asked specifically about star forwards Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe. 'They have to know how we want to press, and without that, things will be very complicated,' continued Alonso. 'Vini, Jude (Bellingham), Fede (Valverde), Kylian, those up front, the defence has to push forward too.' Alonso is looking to obtain the balance that Ancelotti failed to achieve last season following Mbappe's arrival from PSG. Although the French superstar struck 43 goals under Ancelotti it was not enough to inspire a Madrid side that finished the season without a major trophy, while Barcelona reclaimed La Liga as part of a domestic treble. Mbappe's illness with a stomach bug kept him out of Madrid's group matches at the Club World Cup, but on his first start was in the destruction by PSG. 'We have to be self-critical, but it will also serve us as a guide for where we need to improve,' said Alonso. If Alonso can find the formula for Mbappe and Vinicius to work together without sacrificing too much out of possession remains to be seen, while winger Rodrygo Goes does not appear to be part of the coach's plans, playing a bit-part role in the States. Goodbyes and new faces Madrid go into the season without Luka Modric in the squad for the first time in over a decade, with the Croatian's experience and quality a big miss for a side lacking some guile in midfield. Los Blancos' hope is for Turkish playmaker Arda Guler to be able to thrive there and become a player who can control the tempo of a game. 'The coach is trying to make us have more control of the game, and that's better for me,' said Guler. The 20-year-old should get plenty of chances to play at the start of the season with Jude Bellingham sidelined until around mid-October after shoulder surgery to solve a long-running issue. By then new arrival and fellow England international Alexander-Arnold may have established himself in the side. The full-back, who joined from Liverpool before the end of his contract so he could play at the Club World Cup, adds further attacking quality to a Madrid squad brimming with it. Madrid hope Dean Huijsen could help solve some issues at the back, while Alvaro Carreras and Franco Mastantuono also join, with Los Blancos spending over 170 million euros ($200 million) this summer. Dani Carvajal's return from a long-term knee injury is another piece of good news for a Madrid side who need it after their 2024-25 campaign was more noteworthy for the club's attacks on referees than for success on the field. Alonso, who hopes to play an 'ambitious' game with 'emotion and energy', wants the world to be talking about Real Madrid's football once again. — AFP

Real oppose La Liga match in Miami, urge Uefa and Fifa to block it
Real Madrid said staging a match in Miami would grant 'an unfair sporting advantage' to the clubs involved. (AFP pic) MADRID : Real Madrid today denounced plans to stage a La Liga match between Barcelona and Villarreal in Miami, warning the proposal could undermine football's competitive balance and vowing to petition global governing bodies to block the move. The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) yesterday approved the Dec 20 fixture at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, which could become the first La Liga match held abroad and the first European league fixture staged in the US. 'Real Madrid wish to express to its members, supporters and football fans in general its firm rejection of the proposal,' the club said in a statement, revealing they have already urged Fifa, Uefa and Spain's higher sports council (CSD) to intervene. The club accused the RFEF of making its decision 'without informing or consulting the clubs participating in the competition' and argued that staging the match in Miami 'violates the essential principle of territorial reciprocity' in home-and-away league formats. Real further stated that the move would 'alter the competitive balance' and grant 'an unfair sporting advantage' to the clubs involved. The club also warned that approving the proposal could compromise sporting integrity and 'set an unacceptable precedent', insisting any change of this nature should require 'the express and unanimous agreement of all the clubs participating in the competition'. The plan still requires approval from Uefa, US Soccer, Concacaf and ultimately Fifa before La Liga president Javier Tebas can realise his long-held ambition of taking Spanish football to the US.
