Danny Willett launches eager defence of BMW International Open title
SHEFFIELD'S Danny Willett has launched a spirited attempt to defend the BMW International Open title, which provided his breakthrough on the European Tour.
In an awkward wind at Eichenreid near Munich, Willett, 26, shot 65 to reach 10 under par, two behind leader Ernie Els.
After an opening 63, Els made five birdies yesterday, but hit the water at the 16th hole to see his lead cut.
