Martin Kaymer is a Major Champion

Waking up the next morning after such a thrilling finish in the 2010 PGA Championship, I am still wondering if all this really happened. Can’t think of how Martin Kaymer himself must feel after his stunning victory.

I think the Devil Ball golf blog sums it up pretty nicely:

Martin Kaymer — seen here just before plunging into one of Whistling Straits’ many invisible bunkers — currently stands fifth in the Official World Golf Rankings, and the way he played on Sunday, it’s not inconceivable that he’ll pass Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood and Steve Stricker before long. Kaymer demonstrated both power and grace, strategy and touch, en route to posting an 11-under round and holding off Bubba Watson for the Wanamaker Trophy. It wasn’t easy, but Kaymer made it look that way.

As for the stats, read this article on the European Tour website. And the Race to Dubai has a new leader.

From my side (and if you check twitter from many more sides) congratulations and all the best to Martin Kaymer. Can’t wait for the Ryder Cup now!
