McLardy misses out on record

South African Andrew McLardy missed a golden opportunity for a course record on the final day of the BMW International in Munich.

After two eagles and seven birdies – and also two bogeys – McLardy missed from under three feet on the last and so with a par five there signed for a 63, one more than the record held by six players including Darren Clarke, David Feherty and Jose Maria Olazabal.

Level par at the start of the day, he finished nine-under, but was not even on the leaderboard. German Martin Kaymer led by six overnight at 18-under.
