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 Richard Bland parred the fourth extra hole to defeat Japan's Hiroyuki Fujita in a playoff on Monday to capture the US Senior Open title.When Fujita could not get up and down, missing a 20-foot par putt, Bland had his second senior major title in a row after the Senior PGA Championship in May.
