Scotland’s Scott Jamieson wasted little time stamping his presence, holing a monster 50-footer for birdie at his opening hole on day one of the BMW International Open in Munich.

Jamieson was out the morning half of the draw, posting a four-under 66 in the extremely hot conditions ahead of late afternoon lightning alctivity that forced officials to call it a day

The decision to suspend any further play meant some 30 players still to complete round one.

Three players share the lead in this year’s 37th hosting including Ryder Cup vice-captain Edorado Molinari, French man Adrian Saddier and Japan’s Rikuya Hoshino with five-under 65s.

Molinari’s name atop of the board is a welcome sight, having endeared himself to Scottish fans in 2010, capturing a maiden title with victory in the Scottish Open while a few months later his Johnnie Walker triumph at Gleneagles earned him a place in Colin Montgomerie’s Celtic Manor winning side.

Molinari said of his round: “I was a litttle  bit disappointed to be honest because I hit the ball fantastic tee-to-green, but putting, again, wasn’t good at all.

“You can’t complain with a six under so I’ll take it, move on and try to improve the putting.”

Jamieson ‘s German opener is the 39-year-old’s best in his last five events.

After his monster birdie at the 10th, the Ponte Vedre-based Scot grabbed birdies at the 11th, 13th and 15th holes but with only a lone birdie over his inward nine, and that at the sixth hole or his 15th

Fifer Connor Syme was feeling slightly short-changed after his two-under 68.

Unlike Jamieson, Syme bogeyed his first ahead of four onward birdies ahead a 11th hole bogey among  eight closing pars.

Syme said: “I holed a lot of good putts on the front nine, but nothing on my inward half.

“An example of that was the great shot I thought I had played into the par-5 11th that hit the green but then kicked over a cart path and into rubbish.

 “So, after thinking I make birdie, I end-up walking off with a bogey ‘6’.

“That kind of ruined my momentum a bit bit overall happy with how I played”.

Disappointment ahead of tee-off for  local hero and in-form Yannick Paul, being forced out with a back complaint.

Paul is currently third on the European qualifying table and would qualify automatically if the European team was picked today.

Another pre-round casualty was former double BMW winner, and also Rome Ryder Cup vice-captain Thomas Bjorn.

Bjorn a winner in 2002 and 2002.
