Bernhard Langer, a two-time Masters champion and the first man to be installed as world number one, will tee up for the final time on the European Tour at the BMW International Open in Munich which starts on Thursday. Langer, who grew up 45 minutes from the golf course hosting this week's tournament, last played at the BMW International Open, where he has finished second on five occasions, in 2012.
Langer is calling time on his career on the European circuit 50 years after his debut.
England's Justin Rose qualified Tuesday for this month's British Open at Troon as former Ryder Cup team-mate Sergio Garcia again failed to book a place in golf's oldest major championship for the second-straight year.The 43-year-old Rose, the 2013 US Open champion, took one of the four places on offer in final qualifying at Burnham Burrow in Somerset.
