The BMW International Open this year will be June 25^th through the 28^th, from Munich, Germany and will feature players such as Sergio Garcia, Paul Affleck, Felipe Aguilar, Will McKenzie, Ian Andrew and many other fantastic players from the European Tour. It will be held at the Golfclub Munchen Nord-Eichenreid, a Par 72 course that is 6,963 yards. Defending champion Martin Kaymer will also be on the field this year, having won the BMW International Open in 2008 with a score of 273. The tournament record is currently held by John Daly, who set the standard with a score of 261 in 2001.

Kaymer won the tournament last year some say by the skin of his teeth, after he gave up a six-stroke lead early in the tournament. He came back, and blew past John Bickerton, Mark Foster and Paul Casey, ending up in a playoff against Anders Hanson, and won after getting a birdie on the first playoff hole. The then 23 year old birdied five of his last 11 holes, but had a triple bogey on the 11^th, which put him behind the rest of the golfers on the field. 

Kaymer's 18^th hole was a 200 yard drive that bounced and ended up six feet from the cup, allowing him to tap it in easily and require Anders Hanson to take him on head to head. Kaymer became the youngest, and first, German winner in the BMW International Open. This was his second win after Abu Dhabi, which was in January, and it tied English players John Bickerton, Mark Foster and Paul Casey for third, while Anders Hanson took the runner-up spot. 

Sweden had both of the winners for the previous two years, with Henrik Stenson winning in 2006, and Niclas Fasth in 2007 with a score of 275. David Howell took the 2005 trophy home, with a score 10 points lower than Fasth's in 2007, and John Daly won in 2001, setting the tournament record while he was there. 

This event is one of three on the tour that are played in Germany, with the others being The Deutsche Bank Player's Championship of Europe and the Mercedes-Benz Championship. This year's tournament features a 2,000,000 Euro purse, and it will be a great event to watch as most of the big names on the European Tour will be competing. Get your membership by clicking on the links on this page, and don't miss the BMW International Open on June 25^th through the 28^th.
