DP World Tour: Ewen Ferguson wins in Munich and secures Open Championship place

Ewen Ferguson won the BMW International Open in Munich, Germany by two strokes and secured a place at this month’s Open Championship at Royal Troon.

The 28-year-old Scots’ third DP World Tour win, and his first since 2022, was achieved with a four-under-par final round of 68, taking him to 18 under overall. Englishman Jordan Smith and Australian David Micheluzzi were joint second.

Ferguson’s compatriot Connor Syme also enjoyed a top-five finish with a share of fourth place on 14 under along with England’s Matthew Southgate.

Only two Scots, Sandy Lyle and Colin Montgomerie, have previously won the Munich event and Ferguson is the first Scottish player to win a DP World Tour event since Robert MacIntyre’s Italian Open victory in 2022.

Ferguson featured at last year’s Open Championship at Hoylake and qualifies this year as one of the top five top-20 players in the Race to Dubai not otherwise exempt. This year’s event takes place from 18-21 July.

Ross Fisher (12 under) was joint eighth while Tom Lewis and Andrew Wilson finished just inside the top 20 on eight under.
