MADRID, 3 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Former Welsh soccer player Gareth Bale demonstrated his good golf skills and shone in his debut at an American PGA tournament, the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, leaving some level shots and finishing as one of the best in the amateur classification. .
The winner of five Champions Leagues with Real Madrid, retired from football at the beginning of 2023, teamed up with the professional Joseph Bramlett, with whom he signed a card of seven below par (65) to finish in eighteenth place .
“I think all amateur players will tell you that they feel the pressure. Even if we are used to playing in front of 80,000 or more people on live TV, it’s a completely different sport. It’s a good experience and but luckily I did one of my best hits on the first fairway,” said the Cardiff man after completing his round.
The former Spanish basketball player Pau Gasol is also participating in this tournament. The winner of two NBA rings with the Los Angeles Lakers teamed up with Mark Hubbard, with whom he completed the tour in 67 shots (-5).
