Bob MacIntyre looking for 'Munich momentum' in countdown to home double-header

Bob MacIntyre is looking to build some Munich momentum this week as he starts the countdown to his dream double date on Scottish soil.

The Oban man is among eight Scots teeing up in the BMW International Open, which gets underway on Thursday at Golfclub München Eichenried.

“I’m really looking forward to it,” said MacIntyre, who missed the cut on his last trip to Germany for the Porsche European Open in Hamburg. “It’s only my second time here, the first year I came was my first year on tour.

“The more you play out here, the more you realise this is one of the best events of the year. A beautiful golf course and a beautiful city, I’m looking forward to getting a good week in.”

The left-hander is also playing in next week’s Irish Open at Mount Juliet before turning his attention to the Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club then the 150th Open at St Andrews.
