At Gut Laerchenhof,Cologne ,Germany.

Sergio,Danny Willett,Stenson,Joost Luiten,The Mechanic,Beef Johnstone,Andy Sullivan all play and last years winner Pablo Larrazabal is going for his 4th tour win.

5 major winners have won this tourney, Lyle,Kaymar,Azinger,Willett,Daly.    When Azinger won it,it was the only 5 ball play off in the tour history.

The very first winner was David Feherty back in 1989.

As I can't find a decent bet on Euro 2016 I've had an each way nibble on four outsiders in Cologne,makes it a bit more interesting.

I am watching right now. The rough seems to be quite brutal (not quite US open like I guess, but a lot harder than on a lot of other Tour courses). One of the players said that you can only hit 8 iron at most out of the second cut. There have already been some double bogeys. Not surprisingly, if one can find the fairways, scoring is quite good. Soft and moderately sloped greens.

 

Just in this moment, one player just lost a ball in the high rough and had to go back to the tee

Raphael Jacquelin is in the lead after a -7 65.

Richie Ramsey walked away with a BMW after a hole in one.

62 players under par with the cut forecast today to be -1.

Defending champion Pablo Larazzabal shot a 68 as did Henrik Stenson.

Larazzabal's wife was voted most beautiful wife on the tour.

It was an interesting day yesterday. Stenson took first place, Oleson shorty behind and Luiten, Larranzabal and Wiesberger made a move into the top 10. Sergio Garcia T14 and with a hole in one. More of this on moving day please.

A lot of water on course and greens, play suspended. Big chance they won't play at all today.

Messy yesterday,looks like a Monday finsh now.

18th green.

They just started playing again, a lot of players still have to begin with their third round. For the top ranked players in the field like Stenson, Garcia and Luiten it means they will have to play two full rounds today.

They try to finish today, 4th round already starts in 1,5 hour for some. Unless new rain is coming obviously...
