Rafa Nadal traced this Sunday the return of 74 strokes that he signed on Saturday in the first day of the Balearic Championship and rose two places, to seventh, in the general classification after the second day of competition at the Maioris field, in Mallorca. The Manacor tennis player, who started this Sunday in 10th place, was able to finish even higher after making par on 14 of the 18 holes of the course, but two bogeys on 16 and 17 prevented him from finishing with 72 hits for +2.
With +4, Nadal, who plays with an amateur license and a handicap plus 0.3, is seven strokes behind the leader, Federico Páez and only two behind the top-5, who now scores with +2 Antoni Ferrer. The number two in the ATP ranking birdied the 14th hole and gave up another bogey on the 11th in a round that was more than remarkable for him, which remained for a long time in the average of the tournament in which the hole in one stood out. Odette Font achieved at 11.
This Monday, in the last lap, Nadal will again enjoy the Balearic sun while trying to finish the highest this regional championship in which you compete against professionals.
