BMW International Open
After the stresses and strains of last week’s U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, a number of the European Tour’s best players have made the journey to Golf Club Gut Lärchenhof in Pulheim, Germany for the BMW International Open. Tommy Fleetwood is on the start list following his brilliant second place finish in the year’s second Major. The Englishman will be looking to continue the fine form that saw him close with a scintillating 63 at Shinnecock Hills. Also making the journey to Germany are Martin Kaymer, Sergio Garcia and Thorbjorn Olesen. All three will be looking to bounce back after missing the cut on Long Island. Since the tournament was first hosted in 1989, the BMW International Open has produced some notable champions including Paul Azinger, Sandy Lyle, Colin Montgomerie and Lee Westwood. Last year at GolfClub München Eichenried, Andres Romero of Argentina came out on top. He finished one clear of Thomas Detry, Sergio Garcia and Richard Bland.
Players to watch: Tommy Fleetwood – He’ll come into this event on the crest of a wave following his closing 63 at Shinnecock Hills. He’ll look to keep his momentum going and a win here would be just the ticket. Thorbjorn Olesen – The Dane missed the cut in the U.S. Open but he will bounce back from that – He’s clearly on good form as his Italian Open victory displayed. He was tied for second the last time this event was held at Golf Club Gut Lärchenhof. Lucas Bjerregaard – The Dane has three top-10 finishes in his last four starts.
