Munich Set for Exciting Weekend at 37th BMW International Open

The 37th BMW International Open is underway in Munich, with Hennie du Plessis from South Africa leading after the second round at 11-under-par. He holds a one-shot advantage over Carlos Ortiz, Michael Hollick, and Jack Senior. Five German players, including amateur Finn Kölle, have qualified for the weekend. Kölle, 21, is just four shots off the lead and has emerged as one of the standout stories of the tournament. The battle for the title remains wide open, with all 66 remaining players separated by just seven strokes. The BMW Group’s EAGLES FOR EDUCATION initiative has already generated €44,000 for the Philipp Lahm Foundation for Sport and Education, with 44 eagles recorded over the first two rounds. Players are looking forward to the weekend, with Matti Schmid aiming for a top result and Carlos Ortiz enjoying the challenge of the golf course. The tournament continues on Saturday, with tee times announced.
