Langer seeks tour record

After Eduardo Romero threatened to beat him to it, Bernhard Langer is aiming to become the oldest winner in European Tour history in his own tournament this week.

Two weeks after celebrating his 50th birthday, Langer returns to Germany as host of the Mercedes-Benz Championship in Cologne aiming to win the event for the fifth time in three different decades, eclipsing Des Smyth’s record of 48 years and 34 days.
