Why Martin Kaymer Is Great....In 9 Holes!

Online, February 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Hey, everyone!

So, you all know that I am a HUGE Phil Mickelson fan but a close second for me is Martin Kaymer. I think this article says it best and even goes on to list 9 reasons why. Great stuff.

-------------------------------

Martin Kaymer, your 2010 PGA Champion, is on the fast track to the number one ranking. With five wins in the last 12 months, Kaymer has ascended to the top of the golfing world. While other high ranked players such as Steve Stricker and Lee Westwood have yet to win any top tournaments, Kaymer has won a major and is as capable as anyone at catching fire. Kaymer had more wins on the PGA and European Tours than anyone in the world last year.

When you look at Kaymer's game, nothing really stands out. He doesn't have Phil's short game, Stricker's putting, or Dustin's distance. He's a solid ballstriker, has pretty good distance, get up and down well, and he knows how to putt. While he is a bit above average in all of those categories, Kaymer just seems to put it all together, and he is perennially among the best scorers on the PGA and European Tours. Although Kaymer has a slightly funky backswing, his downswing is a thing of beauty. On that note, here are nine holes with Martin Kaymer.

Hole One: Childhood
Martin Kaymer was born on December 28th, 1984, in Dusseldorf, Germany. Dusseldorf is the capital of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia and is the seventh most populous city in Germany.

Hole Four: Two Breakthrough Years
To begin 2008, Kaymer won the Abu Dhabi Golf Championships after leading all four rounds. Two weeks later in the Dubai Desert Classic, Kaymer finished second only to Tiger Woods Kaymer was four under for his last three holes, but still lost to Woods by a stroke. Unlike 2007, when he struggled mightily away from Europe, Kaymer tore up the Middle East in '08.

Hole Five: Major Champion
With an early win in Abu Dhabi, Kaymer was again off to a hot start. Although he missed the cut at the Masters in April, Kaymer recorded a T8 at the U.S. Open and a T7 in the Open Championship. Thanks to several good years and a strong record in the majors, Kaymer was among the favorites to win the PGA Championship.
