Munich. Three players are tied at the top of the leaderboard going into Friday’s second round of the BMW International Open: Lasse Jensen (Denmark), Rafael Cabrera-Bello (Spain) and Daniel Gaunt (England) went round the Championship Course at Golfclub München Eichenried in 65 shots (-7), thrilling the 14,000 spectators with a dazzling display of top-class golf in glorious sunshine.
 
However, a big chasing pack littered with big names is hot on their heels. Among them is world number seven Henrik Stenson (67, -5). It looked briefly as though the Swede’s challenge was set to fade after a triple-bogey on the sixteenth (his seventh) hole. However, Stenson kept his cool, shooting eight birdies to fight his way back into a tie for fifth place.
 
“There was a lot going on there today,” said Stenson, who won the BMW International Open back in 2006. “I got off to a pretty good start, and I didn’t do too much wrong on 16 but wound up with a triple bogey. I hung in there and tried to just keep on going. Then I wrapped up with a nice string of birdies on 5, 6, 7 and 8.”
 
The two best-placed Germans trail Stenson by just one shot after the first round: Munich-born Florian Fritsch (68, -4) thrilled golf fans on the Championship Course with five birdies and just one bogey – and was happy with his ‘home-coming’ performance. “I have played here a few times in the past, but never particularly well. Today was a different story,” he said. “I just putted better than I have before. Then a nice run of three birdies in a row took me to four under par. I will try to continue to play my game and take it one shot at a time – then we will see what happens in the end.”
 
Marcel Schneider also carded a 68 (-4) to tie with Fritsch and a further twelve players in tenth place. Fellow Germans Anton Kirstein (70, -2), Bernd Ritthammer (71,-1), and local favourite Marcel Siem (-1) also broke par. BMW Golfsport Ambassador Max Kieffer, who turned 25 today and was presented with a new BMW M4 Coupé for his birthday shortly before starting his round, had to settle for a level par 72, along with two-time major winner Martin Kaymer.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
