Munich. It was a long, loud and spectacular affair. On Saturday, following the third round of the 37th BMW International Open, the 18th green in front of the main stand was transformed into a long-drive arena. In what was now the third edition of “Launch Control”, the 2022 long drive world champion, Martin Borgmeier (GER), and his team took on the squad led by reigning world champion Zack Holton (USA) in an adrenaline-fuelled exhibition match.
The line-up included long-drive specialists Cassandra Meyer and Abby Marting, as well as Bryce Verplank and Bobby “Long Way” Ray (all USA). YouTube star Brad Dalke (USA) also jumped at the chance to take part in this competition, having already made the cut at the 37th BMW International Open with flying colours.
