Bernd Wiesberger misses Munich golf tournament, finishes third

Hollick, also South African, brought the tournament across the finish line at 18 under par, celebrating his success in Munich. Second place went to his compatriot Hennie du Plessis at 17 under par. Wiesberger completed the podium in third, failing to prevent a South African one-two – though not an entirely foreign winner.

Results and podium

Wiesberger, who had shared the lead with Hollick on Saturday, had therefore started the final day as a co-leader. The fact that he was unable to hold the top position was mainly due to his stable but not outstanding closing round. Three birdies with a 71 do represent solid hole gains, but the two bogeys ate into the advantage.

Wiesberger's compatriot Max Steinlechner finished in 30th place, also playing a minor role in the overall standings. The Austrian golfer was unable to make any further impressions on the final day and slotted into the middle of the field.

Tournament outcome: Winner Hollick comfortably wrapped up the tournament with a total of 18 under par. Du Plessis followed one shot behind, with Wiesberger four shots back in third place. At the end of the day, two South Africans stood at the very top, with a Burgenlander just behind them.

Outlook on the upcoming tournaments

For Wiesberger, the result leaves the balance sheet of a tournament that offered great chances but was not completed on the final day. However, the experience of the shared lead after three rounds should give him confidence for upcoming events.

Overall, the result in Munich underscores the international caliber of the field: Hollick and Du Plessis secured the top spots as two South Africans, while Wiesberger and Steinlechner were two Austrians in the starting field, one of whom just narrowly missed the podium.

The Munich golf tournament is a fixed fixture on the European tournament series and once again attracted a strong international field. The fact that all three podium places ultimately went to players from Africa and Central Europe respectively shows the breadth of the starting field beyond the traditional strongholds.

Looking ahead to the upcoming stops, Wiesberger will use the analysis of his closing rounds to work on the finer details. His form curve remains positive: a third place at a European Tour event is a solid performance, even if expectations had been set higher after the shared lead.
