Thanks Martin Kaymer for bringing another major title to Germany. I am really looking forward to see him in the Ryder Cup. Hope Europe is going to take that trophy too.

Came out of nowhere?????????? What you mean he isn’t an American or Tiger Woods!!!!

Martin has been one of Europe’s top players for a number of years now. I’m pretty sure he is in the top 20 players in the world. For sure he is a MUCH better player than Bubba Watson.

Pretty biased journalism this to be honest IMHO!

Hey Matt,
Martin Kaymer is not that well known to most people in the U.S and no one would have predicted him to win the PGA Championship. Martin has won six times on the European Tour, and has missed the cut at the Masters the last three years. Not biased at all, just stating factual information. Is he a better player that Bubba Watson? Yes, if you base it on career victories on the European Tour, etc. Don’t get me wrong, Kaymer does have a bright future a head of him. Thanks for your input.
Rob
