Rafa Nadal has been proclaimed runner-up in the Championship Mid Amateur golf course, for people over 25 years of age, which was played this weekend on the Alcanada course. It was a tournament without a handicap -Rafa is -1, with which a priori he would lose one shot compared to par on the course-, where only gross shots after two rounds were counted.
The new champion of the Australian Open signed a card of 77 shots with three birdies, four bogeys and two double bogeys. Up to the tee of the 16th hole, Nadal had played the Alcudia course at two over par. The manager scored a total of 151 hits, added to the 74 from the first day.
The winner was Federico Pez, golf referee of the European Tour in recent seasons, and who signed two cards of 70 and 69 strokes to win by 12 strokes. Former Athletic Bilbao striker Aritz Aduriz was thirteenth with a total of 164 strokes (83 and 81).
This competition was a break in Rafa’s season, who now plans to return to the tennis courts at the Acapulco Open, and then continue through the United States with the first Masters 1,000 of the season.
