Rafael Nadal Bags Amateur Golf Tournament to Set the Tone for Indian Wells Comeback
Rafael Nadal and his recent achievements remind us of the proverb ‘Once a champion, always a champion’. Although he has been the tennis champion for decades and will always be remembered as one, he has captured another sport with his talent. Recently, the 37-year-old tennis star won his debut golf tournament ahead of his tennis comeback.
While the former world number one is all set to step foot on the tennis court once again with the Indian Wells, before that, he took some time off to try his hands at golf. There is more to the story; not only did he play golf professionally, but at the same time, he won the Balearic Mid-Amateur Golf Championship.
