Langer takes Parnevik decision as 'resignation'

Bernhard Langer has taken Jesper Parnevik’s decision to pull out of the final Ryder Cup qualifying event as “a sign of resignation”.

The 39-year-old, with only one top 10 finish in the last six months, claims his main reason for skipping next week’s BMW International in Munich is because he has a “big” company day in Chicago.
