Goosen two shots ahead in Munich

Golf story by sport.co.uk, Mon, 29 Jun 2009 08:53:21 GMT



Retief Goosen leads second-placed Bernhard Langer by two shots at the end of day three at the BMW International Open in Munich. Langer, 51, is bidding to become the oldest winner in European tour history at a course just a matter of miles from where he grew up.
Playing his first event in Europe for over nine months Langer, now the leading money-winner on the US Champions Tour, carded seven birdies in a round of 65 that took him onto the 15-under-par mark of 201.



Langer said: "This is as close as I could get to winning at home and it would mean a lot.



"It would also be very special with my son Stefan on my bag. We have only one more tournament together before he goes off to college.



"I'm at a stage where I just want to enjoy my golf. I don't want to grind any more and I don't have anything to prove - I've been very blessed."



Meanwhile, Goosen, who has led since his opening 64 on Thursday, shot 67, but will have been disappointed not to have stretched his lead further.



In the day's other highlight, Colin Montgomerie sunk a 156-yard hole-in-one on the eight - his ninth Tour ace.



However, there was not a single birdie in his other 17 holes, with a 72 leaving him three under and out of the title hunt.



"It was the only good shot I hit all day," he said. "It looked good all the way, but I played rubbish apart from that. I never made a birdie, which is terrible.



"I made as many holes-in-one as an amateur I believe. My iron play has always been my strength."
