A strong field headed by Martin Kaymer and Henrik Stenson has gathered outside Munich and Stenson posted a -5 67, but the clubhouse leader for much of the day was Andrew Johnston from England at -6 66. Kaymer could do no better than E 72 T38.
However the afternoon wave provided the round one leaders as Lasse Jansen, Rafael Cabrera-Bello and Daniel Gaunt all shot -7 65. Cabrera-Bello was 1 over through 4 holes but then reeled off 9 birdies.
There were a lot of birdies at the opening day's play at Golfclub München Eichenried, after all the rain leading into the event. The European Tour reported 555 birdies, along with 10 eagles.

Bubba Watson shot an -8 62 to take a two-stroke lead in the Travelers where he won in 2010 for his first PGA Tour title. He has finished in the top 20 five times in eight previous starts at TPC River Highlands.
New England native Keegan Bradley was tied for second with Jason Gore, Seung-Yul Noh, Brian Stuard and Harris English, who shot a 30 on the back nine. Eight players shot 65, and 12 more opened at 66. Ninety-three players were under par in the first round, many who played Chambers Bay at the US Open last week, found this course pretty easy.
There are six Canadians in the field, Mike Weir +2 72, Adam Hadwin -3 67, Roger Sloan -1 69, Graham Delaet -3 67, Nick Taylor +5 75 and Jean-Philip Cornellier +2 72 who is a rookie on the PGA Canada Tour and was scheduled to fly out to Alberta for a tournament there this week, but won a Monday qualifier -4 68 to get in the field.

Tom Watson just missed out on shooting his age in the opening round of the US Senior Open, but the 65 year old has the consolation of a one shot lead at Del Paso Country Club, Sacramento.
The eight-time Major Champion had a 35ft putt on the last hole to match his age, but the putt stopped short and he had to settle for a -4 66
“Man, did I want to make that putt,” said Watson, who is looking to complete the career grand slam of Senior Major Championships. “I was grinding on that putt more than any putt in a long time. Shoot my age in a U.S. Open championship? That would have been pretty special."
In searing heat in Sacramento where the temperature reached 105*f, Watson overcame an early double bogey and had four birdies in a six-hole stretch after the turn. He is one shot clear of six players on three under par - Michael Allen, Lee Janzen, Jeff Hart, Jim Carter, P.H. Horgan and Woody Austin.
Defending champion Colin Montgomerie is a further shot back in a share of eighth position after an opening round of 68, which left the Scot satisfied with his first day’s return
