BMW International Open Tips

BMW International Open - Golfclub München Eichenried,Munich,Germany

20 June 2013 - 23 June 2013

Tip date: 18 June 2013

After a one year move to Cologne, the BMW International returns to its regular venue of Golfclub Munchen Eichenreid. The course is a relatively straightforward 7100 yard par 72. Scoring is usually low with a winning figure usually in the -16 to -20 range. Danny Willett is the defending champ but the last winner on this course is Pablo Larrazabal and the course certainly suits his attacking style.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Thorbjorn Olesen	2pt each way 50-1	Stan James TOP SIX	Finishing position: T79 Back Thorbjorn Olesen Again
Thorbjorn has had a bit of a rough time of it lately but as the old cliché goes ‘class is permanent. We all know he’s a fast improving player with a big future and his standing in World golf is increasing all the time. Quite simply, when a player of his calibre is available at these kind of odds then he has to be considered. We’re not concerned by him missing the cut by a mile at Merion on a track that was never going to suit. We can see him taking full advantage this week on a resort style course that’s going to yield a ton of birdies to long hitting aggressive players like Olesen.
Paul Casey	1.5pt each way 50-1	SkyBet	Finishing position: T53 Back Paul Casey Again
We firmly believe Paul is on the comeback trail. He had a good three rounds at Merion and he’ll have taken a lot out of that. He’s made 7 of 9 cuts on the European Tour this season and had a decent T8 at the China Open – another wide open course where low scores are needed. We reckon this is exactly the kind of undemanding track where he can make a breakthrough. He’s managed three 3rds on this course in the past so we se mo reason why he can’t pop up in the frame come Sunday.
Mark Foster	1pt each way 100-1	Stan James TOP SIX	Finishing position: T92 Back Mark Foster Again
Mark has had a reasonable season so far with a T6 at the Malaysian Open his best finish thus far. He’s currently in decent cut-making form with a very solid T24 at Wentworth catching the eye. Of the outsiders this week we think Foster is worthy of consideration – principally due to two T3 in the last four events at the current venue. Factor in a T18 in Cologne last year and you have a guy who clearly likes the tournament. We think he’s well worth a small interest at these odds.
