Late October 2020 is the perfect time for golfers in Spain. But the ones in Llucmajor – Mallorca were in for a special treat. Tennis great and native fellow Rafael Nadal took part in the Balearic Golf Championship, and out of 60 contestants, he finished sixth (tied).
One might look at this as an incredible achievement for the 34-year-old Spaniard. However, what makes it even crazier is his record 13th win at the Roland-Garros that came just earlier this month by stomping over World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in straight sets, 6-0, 6-2, 7-5.
