Rafael Nadal finished 5th in Mallorca Golf tournament

Rafael Nadal's fortunes at the Balearic Golf Championship over the weekend, have turned out to be slightly worse off than what he achieved at the French Open a couple of weeks ago.

While the Spaniard defeated Casper Ruud in straight sets in the final in Paris to notch up his 22nd Grand Slam title, he could only manage a fifth-place finish on the Club de Golf Son Servera. The 36-year-old ended Day 1 of the tournament in fourth position yesterday, four strokes off the pace of leader Marc Servera Bisellach. With a score of 76, the former World No. 1 also shot four strokes more than the par score of 72.

He did not fare as well on the second day today, shooting a score of 78, six strokes more than the par score. With an overall score of 154 (10 more than par), the World No. 4 finished eight strokes behind Bisellach's winning score of 146, who shot two strokes more than par on Day 2.

Now that his stint at the Balearic Golf Championship is over, Rafael Nadal will fly to London tomorrow, where he will continue training on grass for a week.
