Miguel Bisellach, one of the reference golfers in the amateur field in Mallorca, who won the Balearic Individual last year, was the winner of the Corner Trophy that was held at Pula Golf. Bisellach needed two birdies in the last two holes to lift the title in the scratch mode with 38 points (2 under par) on the difficult Son Servera course redesigned by José María Olazábal.

The tournament that has already been consolidated in the Balearic calendar also had as winners Bartolomé Tous (43 points) in the first category, Ignacio Zamalloa (43), in the second, María Rosselló (42) in women and Antonio Pou (42) among the seniors.
Pula Golf was the scene for five years of the Mallorca Classic, of the European Tour, and later hosted Senior Circuit tournaments and four editions of the Olazábal Nadal Invitational charity tournament. Mallorca is an island in the Mediterranean, the largest of the Balearic Islands that’s why it’s also called the Major Balear, and it’s the place of origin of the Majorcans.
Due to the large demographic weight of the capital, Palma, the island was traditionally divided between the City and the Foreign Part. The Foreign Part is the rural area, the land located outside the population. In Mallorca, this term is used to refer globally to all towns that are not the capital, Palma.
From the classical period, collective names referring to the Balearic archipelago predominate, generally differentiating the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca and Cabrera) from the Pitiüses (Eivissa and Formentera), but some texts also begin to name each one of the islands It is not known what the Phoenicians called Mallorca, unlike what happens with Ebusus, but it is known that the Greeks called Gimnèsies the strict Balearic Islands and Cromiussa the island of Mallorca.
The ending in -ussa is of Phocian origin, and common in classic island toponymy. But both Greeks and Romans used denominations relative to the dimensions of the two most important islands, of the type the major (or the largest) or the minor (or the smallest) of the Gymnasiums or Balearides, and with this denomination is found in the local production registration plates of the federated city of Bócor;[4] consistently, the terms Balearic Major and Balearic Minor are also documented,and, briefly and autonomously, simply the major and the minor. The name of Maiorica, together with its partner Minorica, is not cited until the 4th century.
