"Take it back, the steering wheel's on the wrong side"

Well then, who came away from Cologne smelling like roses?:  Of the two Danes who were leading going in to the final day, Soren Hansen had the better round and ended up winning by four shots over Philip Archer and Alistair Forsyth.
So how did it go down?: Bjorn briefly led after birdieing the first and second holes but then made bogey at the fifth and double bogey at the sixth. Soren Hansen made two birdies by the turn but then chipped in for eagle at the 13th with a second eagle of the round at the 15th to take the win and get the monkey off his back.
Monkey?: Well he hadn't won on Tour since 2002 but he finally managed to turn his excellent recent form into a win. He described his close misses as like having a monkey on his back and blamed himself for looking over his shoulder too much.
I think I'd look over my shoulder if I had a monkey on my back: Looking at the other players he meant.
And what would he have seen if he did look back?: He would have seen Bjorn finish five shots back, tied for fourth with Bradley Dredge at 12 under and Lee Westwood again failing to replicate his awesome opening round and finishing at minus 11 alongside Simon Khan and another Dane, Soren Kjeldsen.
How does all this effect the Seve and Ryder Cups?: Archer and Hansen both claim Seve Cup spots while Hansen moved to second in the early Ryder Cup points.
And the InGolfWeTrust tips?: Don't ask
I just did:  None of them played badly, but at tied 27th, Langer was the highest placed of the three.
Danke: Nein problem.
