Jordan Spieth is only 23 and doesn't need to earn another cent in his life, his golfing accomplishments speak for themselves. By now you know he made par from a greenside bunker to get into a playoff, then holed another in the playoff to win his 10th career title.....One day soon he will announce his engagement to some lucky young lady, if he hasn't already (pls let me know) who will stand by his side and help raise little Jordan's and Jordina's who will benefit from his fabulous wealth.
England's Richard Bland who is 44, has played in 410 European Tour events and has yet to win... this week despite rounds of 67 69 67 69 -15 he lost yet again to a young Argentinian with a famous name Anders Romero who had a 68 65 weekend for a -17 total to win the BMW in Munich.
Triumph... and sadly tragedy, although both will play that down...
Here are the leaderboards and storylines..

Anders Romero from Argentina but not related to the great Eduardo Romero, had not made a regular European Tour appearance since the 2012 BMW Masters and his last top ten came at the BMW PGA Championship in 2008. He was in Munich on a sponsors exemption and was ranked 837 in the world.
On Sunday he shot -7 65 to beat Spain’s Masters winner Sergio Garcia, Belgium’s Thomas Detry and Bland with a winning total of -1. 271,
Romero has now regained his playing privileges and given himself a chance of securing a place in the prestigious season-ending DP World Tour Championship,
The final round at Golfclub München Eichenried came down to a four-way battle between Romero, Garcia, Richard Bland and Thomas Detry on a day of high drama in Bavaria.
Garcia, Detry and Bland each received 149,140 Race to Dubai points for sharing the runner-up spot, with the latter making the biggest jump up the rankings from 176th place to 79th with 191,353 for the season.
