Nicolai von Dellingshausen carries momentum into the BMW International Open – More top Germans set to tee off.

+++ Following his first win on the DP World Tour, Nicolai von Dellingshausen sets his sights on the BMW International Open +++ Strong German contingent also includes Marcel Schneider, Marcel Siem, Max Kieffer, Yannik Paul, Alexander Knappe and Jannik De Bruyn +++ Bernd Wiesberger and Matthias Schwab fly the flag for Austria +++

Munich. It was a milestone in the career of Nicolai von Dellingshausen: Last Sunday, the 32-year-old claimed his maiden tournament win on the DP World Tour at the Austrian Alpine Open. However, von Dellingshausen is not the only German who enjoyed a confidence-boosting result in Austria at the weekend: Marcel Schneider finished in a tie for second place, while Marcel Siem was tied in fifth. The trio is now hoping to back up this fine form at the next event near the Alps, when the BMW International Open takes place from 2nd to 6th June at Golfclub München Eichenried.

“Like every year, I am really looking forward to the BMW International Open. A home tournament is always something special, particularly such an atmospheric one,” says von Dellingshausen. “My victory at the Austrian Alpine Open obviously gives me confidence and momentum, and I will do my very best to take advantage of that and give the best account of myself again in Munich.”

Flying the flag for Germany alongside Siem, Schneider and von Dellingshausen at the 36^th BMW International Open will be Yannik Paul, Alexander Knappe and Jannik De Bruyn. It has been confirmed of several months now that Martin Kaymer, the only German ever to win the tournament, will also tee off at the only DP World Tour event on German soil. He will be joined by Matti Schmid and Stephan Jäger, who primarily play on the PGA TOUR. “Eichenried lad” Jäger will be determined to do well when he returns to his home and the club, at which he learned to play golf. Schmid came within a whisker of his first PGA TOUR title at the end of May, missing out on victory at the Charles Schwab Challenge by just one shot. That result did, however, confirm that the man from Regensburg is currently on top form.

A German win in Austria: Bernd Wiesberger and Matthias Schwab would love to turn last weekend’s events on their head and celebrate an Austrian victory in Germany at the BMW International Open. It would be a first in the long history of the tournament, although both players have come close to tasting victory in the past: Wiesberger was fourth in 2013, while Schwab finished third in 2019.
