BMW International Open

The second big tournament in Germany is coming our way this week with the BMW International Open at GC München-Nord Eichenried. It will be the last tournament that accounts for the Ryder Cup rankings of the European Team, so it should be especially interesting to watch the players on the bubble.

The tournament warm up started yesterday with a 10hole shootout, the player with the worst score of the hole retired from the game. Retief Goosen had to battle it out with german Marcel Siem, in the end the south african won the chip duel and a BMW Mountainbike.

To follow the tournament check out the tournaments website, the livescoring will be all flash with embedded videos of selected shots from some of the players. BMW also offers a RSS Plugin (no regular feed available) that presents the lastest news on your desktop:

We will see how the weather changes for the weekend, the heavy rain of the last days should reduce and hopefully it will be a dry tournament. There is plenty of tv coverage of the tournament, so stay tuned.
