The former Arizona State player has five straight top-10 finishes.I am very happy to be here and to get my second victory, Ciganda said. Its wonderful to play here in Mexico. I honestly dont have any words. I love the golf course, the people, its an honor to be here. Ive been playing really good all year long and to end this year with these two victories gives me a lot of confidence, I am very happy.Ciganda won a year after finishing second to Inbee Park on the tree-lined course.Last year, I was close, Ciganda said. It was a shame not being able to win but it was still a good last day, so I had really good memories. Last week, I was back home just resting because I wanted to play here and to do so well, so I am really happy and thrilled that I was able to win.Third-round leader Austin Ernst had a 71 to drop into a tie for second with 2008 winner Angela Stanford (69), Jodi Ewart Shadoff (67), Karine Icher (69) and Sarah Jane Smith (70).Right now, disappointed. I just didnt play well enough today to get it done, Ernst said. Carlota played really good, especially early. I am just kind of frustrated with how I finished.Stanford won the 2008 event in Guadalajara.It was a good day, Stanford said. Its hard to shoot 3 under on Sunday and be upset, but I had two three-putts. The one on 11 would probably haunt me for a while, but I hit the ball really well and gave myself a lot of chances and I was never in a really bad spot, so to be in contention and have a day like that is pretty encouraging.Mexican amateur Maria Fassi closed with a 73 to tie for 15th at 5 under.

PARIS -- Despite helping France reach the European Championship final, striker Olivier Giroud finds himself once again fighting for his place in the national side.His position has come under serious threat from Kevin Gameiro, and coach Didier Deschamps must choose between them to play alongside Antoine Griezmann in Fridays World Cup qualifier against Sweden.Gameiro appears to be the favorite to start, but Girouds physicality and heading ability could prove useful against a robust Sweden side level with France in Group A.Olivier and Kevin have different styles. Olivier is more of a link player, Kevin is more about speed and making runs, Deschamps said. Both are very effective. I can use one at the start and one can come on during the match, depending on the opposition.Giroud scored three goals at Euro 2016, forging a decent partnership with Griezmann, the competitions top scorer with six. But he has lost his place in the Arsenal side to Chile striker Alexis Sanchez, while Gameiro is thriving at club level alongside Griezmann at Atletico Madrid.Although Giroud started Frances first match in qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, he missed two clear chances in a 0-0 draw at Belarus.Gameiro replaced him in a 4-1 win at home against Bulgaria and a 1-0 win at the Netherlands. He scored twice against Bulgaria, with his second goal set up by Griezmann. Their partnership is progressing well at Atletico, where they have 13 goals between them this season.However, Giroud also has found some form recently for Arsenal.He came off the bench to score twice in quick succession in a 4-1 win at Sunderland and followed that up with a goal in the Champions League. But he was back on the bench again for the match against Tottenham last weekend, with Sanchez starting.Hes not at 100 percent, he knows it and I know it, Deschamps said Thursday. But I know wwhat Olivier can do, and Kevin, too.dddddddddddd All of this plays a part in my thinking.It is a familiar situation for Giroud.With France, he was often second choice behind Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, and before facing competition from Sanchez at Arsenal, he was battling Theo Walcott for the center forwards jersey.Thats the story of my career: Ive always had to fight to keep my place, Giroud said in a recent interview with sports daily LEquipe. But I have experience and good matches that speak in my favor.The 30-year-old Giroud has 21 goals in 57 games for France, while the 29-year-old Gameiro has a more modest three in 11. But because Gameiro is playing regularly with Griezmann in a dangerous-looking partnership, Giroud fears that gives his teammate the edge.I would be lying if I said the opposite, Giroud said. But thats not everything. I also showed that I could play well alongside Antoine at the Euro.The muscular striker set up Griezmann for the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Ireland that sent France through to the quarterfinals at Euro 2016, showing great awareness to cushion a header perfectly into this path for the nippy forward to run onto.The international careers of Giroud and Gameiro appear somewhat fused.Girouds first appearance for France saw him come on as a substitute, replacing Gameiro in a 1-0 win against the United States five years ago.It inadvertently became a transitional moment, with Gameiro drifting out of the France team for five years until his recent return.Im happy for Kevin, because he bust a gut to get back, Giroud said. But that doesnt mean you have to start to question everything that went before. Ive scored 11 goals in my last 15 games with the national team. ' ' '
