Müller shines at pro-am golf
We are currently in the football close season, but Bayern star Thomas Müller clearly cannot manage without sport of some sort. In the build-up to a high-ranking golf tournament in Eichenried on the outskirts of Munich, Müller took part in Wednesday’s traditional ProAm tournament, in which professional and amateur golfers compete in teams. Müller played his round with former world number one Martin Kaymer, ex-handball player Stefan Kretzschmar and singer Tim Bendzko. Müller, who plays off a highly respectable handicap of six, earned a chorus of praise afterwards: “Thomas Müller is an extremely good player,” observed European Tour competitor Maximilian Kieffer, “it looks a lot like pro golf.”
