Porsche European Open 2016 Alexander Levy Won the Second Porsche European Open in the Bavarian Town of Bad Griesbach newsroom Sport Sep 25, 2016 Porsche European Open 2016 Alexander Levy won the second Porsche European Open in the Bavarian town of Bad Griesbach. The 26-year-old Frenchman defeated England’s Ross Fisher in a play-off to claim the coveted trophy. The tournament at a glance. Third Round Levy emerged triumphant on the second play-off hole to claim the title at the prestigious tournament, which boasted a prize purse of two million Euros. This was Levy’s third victory on the European Tour. Behind Levy and Fisher, Swedes Michael Jonzon and Robert Karlsson (both -16) finished tied in third place. Adverse weather reduced the European Tour event on the Beckenbauer Course (par 71) from 72 to 54 holes. 35,300 spectators visited the tournament over the course of the four days. Sixth place for Martin Kaymer “We witnessed a high-class golf tournament with an excellent field,” said Andreas Haffner, Member of the Executive Board at Porsche AG. “The huge spectator figures at the course and the fact that the tournament was broadcast in 180 countries show that the Porsche European Open has been excellently received by the golfing public. The players enjoy the special atmosphere here and have a lot of fun test driving our sports cars. On the whole, it was a great confirmation of our involvement as title sponsor.” The best-placed German was Ryder Cup player Martin Kaymer (-14) in sixth place. The man from Düsseldorf headed straight to Linz (Austria) immediately after his final putt. From there, Kaymer, his Belgian team-mate Thomas Pieters, and vice captains Paul Lawrie (Scotland) and Padraig Harrington (Ireland) flew via London to Minneapolis, where the 41st Ryder Cup will be played next week. Second Round Despite outstanding performances on day three of the 2016 Porsche European Open on the Beckenbauer Golf Course in Bad Griesbach, none of the players who completed their second rounds on Saturday were able to keep pace with Alexander Levy. The Frenchman had completed the final hole of his second round in the morning. He leads a strong field on 17 under par (125 shots), courtesy of two excellent bogey-free rounds. Page 1 of 4 Alexander Levy continues to lead the way after the second round The extraordinary late summer weather attracted 7,800 spectators to the course and prompted the players to produce some outstanding golf. Sweden’s Michael Jonzon carded a round of 63, and will play alongside Levy and Ross Fisher in the final group. The penultimate group features the three “local heroes” from Germany and Austria – Martin Kaymer, Florian Fritsch and Bernd Wiesberger – who are tied in fourth place on -11 (131 shots). They are followed by Sweden’s Robert Karlsson, who is tied in seventh place on -10 (132 shots) with Bradley Dredge (Wales) and Jean Hugo (South Africa). Tournament reduced to 54 holes Heavy fog once again delayed the morning start, meaning the second round could not be completed until Saturday evening. As such, the officials took the decision to reduce the tournament to 54 holes, in order to ensure that the winner could be crowned on Sunday evening. It is the first tournament on the European Tour, at which it has not been possible to complete the full 72 holes due to fog. Of the ten German pros who teed off at the tournament, six made the cut. Martin Kaymer and Florian Fritsch are joined in the final round by Max Rottluff and Marcel Schneider, both on -6 (133 shots), while Bernd Ritthammer is tied in 46th place on -5 (137 shots) and Marcel Siem lies in a tie for 58th place on -4 (138 shots). First Round France’s Alexander Levy moved ahead of Austrian Bernd Wiesberger with a birdie on the 18th. A fine round of 62 (nine under par) saw Levy end the day at the top of the leaderboard at the 2016 Porsche European Open, which was held on the Beckenbauer Golf Course in Bad Griesbach. Despite bright sunshine on the first two days, it was only possible to complete the opening round early in the afternoon on day two. Thick fog delayed the start of play on both the first two days of the tournament. The pros were only able to resume their rounds at 11:30 on Friday, after play was suspended the previous evening due to bad light. Levy moved ahead of the Austrian at the top of the leaderboard courtesy of a bogey-free round. Young Australian Jason Scrivener is third. Ross Fisher (England), Spain’s Adrian Otaegui and young Italian Renato Paratore are tied in fourth place a further shot back on -6 (65). Page 2 of 4 Alexander Levy leads after round one A group of six players are tied in seventh place on -5 following rounds of 66 on the par-71 course: Englishmen Ben Evans, Matthew Southgate and Steve Webster, American Daniel Im, Denmark’s Lucas Bjerregaard, and Swede Michael Jonzon. Fritsch, Kaymer, Kieffer, Rottluff, Schneider and Rosenmüller tied in 19th The players took advantage of what continue to be very good conditions, as they strived to put themselves in a good position ahead of the second round. Among those to go under par were five German players, Florian Fritsch, Martin Kaymer, Maximilian Kieffer, Max Rottluff and Marcel Schneider, who each carded opening rounds of 67. They are tied for 19th place with outstanding amateur Thomas Rosenmüller from Munich. Kaymer was happy with his round. “After yesterday’s difficult start, I am happy with today’s score. The interruptions did not bother me much. I am pleased to see so many spectators, who followed us from the first tee to the final putt. I am also pleased for Thomas Rosenmüller, who returned to the clubhouse with an excellent score.” Rosenmüller visibly enjoyed his round. “I want to learn as much as possible here, and to have fun. I have not set myself any goals, but am simply trying to play my best golf.” He has obviously achieved that so far. After a brief rest, the players must tee off again on Thursday afternoon, in order to get the second round underway. Results Final result: 1.

    BMW Corporate Communications Media Information BMW International Open 30th March 2017 Kaymer to tee off in Munich: German golf fans can look forward to watching the two-time major winner at the BMW International Open. • The only German winner of the BMW International Open to date, Martin Kaymer, to return to München-Eichenried in June. • All the other six Germans on the European Tour will also be in action: Marcel Siem, Max Kieffer, Florian Fritsch, Bernd Ritthammer, Alexander Knappe and Sebastian Heisele. • Tickets available at http://tickets.bmw-golfsport.com. Munich. In a history spanning almost 30 years, the BMW International Open has only produced one German winner: Martin Kaymer triumphed in 2008, when the tournament celebrated its 20th anniversary at Golfclub München-Eichenried. This year, the 32-year-old will return to the scene of that success, as he bids to claim a second title. The three- time Ryder Cup winner will be joined at the BMW International Open (21st to 25th June) by the remaining six German pros playing their golf on the European Tour this season. “I am already looking forward to the BMW International Open in Munich,” said Kaymer. “It is particularly nice for me to play in front of the home fans in my native Germany. Furthermore, the victory at the 2008 BMW International Open will always remain a very special title for me – that is why I am always so pleased to return to this fantastic tournament.” Kaymer defeated Denmark’s Anders Hansen in a play-off in 2008, following a real rollercoaster ride of a final round.
