Rory McIlroy will be leading the Irish challenge at the BMW International Open in Germany over the coming days. The 20-year-old Co Down golfer goes into the competition on the back of a top-10 finish in the US Open on Monday. He missed the cut at the BMW Open last year, but says he is confident that he will be challenging for a win this weekend. Shane Lowry, Gary Murphy, Paul McGinley, Damien McGrane, Gareth Maybin, Michael Hoey and Peter Lawrie will also be in action at the Munich event.
