Thank you and Goodbye Bernard Langer one of the "Big Five"... For the history we kept his last BMW rounds data!
With his last hole save par from Zone3 (9 feet) Legend Bernard Langer ends his DPWorld tour career with a emotional speech.
Bernard Langer made his DP World Tour debut in 1974 and would go on to play over 500 events, claim 42 wins including two Masters Tournaments, win the Harry Vardon Trophy twice and star in the Ryder Cup as a victorious captain and player.
He revealed he was immensely proud of the legacy that he and fellow European greats Seve Ballesteros, Sir Nick Faldo, Sandy Lyle and Ian Woosnam - known as the Big Five.
Langer quotes: "I had lots of ups and downs in my career, there were difficult times with the yips and other things but I had many wonderful moments. It was a privilege to play with the Big Five as they call them.
I think we spurred each other on and I believe we probably made the Tour in the 80s and 90s what it is now, what it has become. It was fun playing against these guys and the youngsters now bear the benefits of that."
Knowing to be a struggler putter, Langer out performed Zone3 (56%) still was to many times in Zone4 (16), with 3 drops on the last round (SwingScore 76) to Miss the cut by 3 shots.
Bernhard Langer Gives God all the Glory:
Langer made it back to the Butler Cabin in 1993 with a four-shot victory at the Masters, the widest margin of victory in 10 years at Augusta National. Fred Couples helped him put on the green jacket. Then came the live interview with CBS, and a question about how special it was to win the Masters for a second time. Langer couldn’t help but mention that he had won on Easter Sunday and how important that day is to Christians.
It is exciting to see leading sportsmen using their talents to bring glory to God. If all of us “seek first the Kingdom” then we know “all things will be added unto us” Matt 6:33. What an amazing promise from our Lord and King!
