England’s Nick Dougherty, who this time last year had little desire to play golf, finally returned to winning ways in Munich today - and with it earned a place in next month’s Open. But what a scare the 27-year-old from Liverpool, so devastated by the sudden death of his mother straight after his US Masters debut 14 months ago, was given before he made the BMW International Open his third European Tour victory. Four clear and seemingly coasting, the gap was suddenly cut to one when Argentina’s Rafa Echenique sank a 243-yard three-iron on the last for only the fourth albatross of the Tour season. Having eagled the 11th Echenique equalled the Tour record with his back nine 27 - he actually played the last 10 holes in an amazing 10 under - but Dougherty kept his composure.
