Golf BMW Tournament
Playing steady golf, but sure, the Swede Niclas Fasth won the BMW International Open by two strokes. The Swede closed with two under 70 pushing Bernhard Langer in Eichenried, Germany. Fasth commended veteran Langer for having "the stuff of champions" - after Case of German reach perhaps the most significant victory of his remarkable career.
Fasth finished at 13-under 275 to overtake Langer, who held the clubhouse lead at 11 under. The German fire of 67 tied for second with Jose-Filipe Lima of Portugal, who closed with a 72.
Despite the antagonism of thousands of German fans, Fasth hit three straight pars, then made a clinching seven foot birdie putt on No. 17 to win his sixth European Tour victory and $ 447,600. "I always felt the tournament was mine to lose," Fasth said. " I decided I was not going to watch the leaderboards and did not know anything about Bernhard Langer load until I reached the 15th hole. "
"Well, it is fantastic, of course. In retrospect, it really seemed that it was my tournament to win or lose from the start. I played some of the best golf of my life this week and did not really hole as many putts as I would have loved there, "Fasth noted.
The Swede added: "Overall, I played some amazing golf. I improved certain things for this year and the biggest difference for me, I think I trust these huge now in my Callaway driver where before, I did not hit enough fairways, for example, this week, where she has always been a premium on driving, this week I managed to put himself in position a lot and have a lot of birdie chances. I really was not much trouble all week. And today, except for a hole, I did not really make any mistakes and was very pleased with the way I played, and a strong finish added to it, it was great. It felt fantastic. "
Langer, who has played 76 in the first round when he needed medical treatment on the course of a injured neck muscle, proved he can still compete. "That's why I always go there," said Langer, who was 15 under over the last three rounds. "It is nice to be still competing from time to time at my age."
Try become the oldest winner in European Tour history, Langer had been close to withdraw from the BMW International in Munich with a neck injury which has dragged down in 135th place. But he was fired after treatment with 66, then a 68 and when he made a putt from 25 feet for a birdie his fifth of the final round, he had come from eleven back Thursday to just one behind Fasth.
Besides its age, German player have also disappeared in the history books as the first player to win an event after surviving mid-cut with nothing to lose - a record that could measure how enduring title = "BMW tie"> BMW tie. But, as he feared after failing to birdie over the past five peer, it should not be.
"I made a mistake not to look at leaderboards until 15," said the 35-year-old Swede. "I was very tired all week and I wanted to keep my energy, but I need my fiery excitement and when I saw that Bernhard was only one behind Got Me Going. I holed three good putts on the next three Greens and won, but I must say how I was impressed by Bernhard, especially given his first round. This is the stuff of champions. "
