KAYMER HOPES RORY IS READY

admin / / Uncategorized

Former world number one of golf Martin Kaymer has expressed his hope that new world number one Rory McIlroy has what it takes to live up to the billing as the best golfer in the world and has the ammunition to overcome the challenges that the top spot throws at him. In one instance, it would be appropriate to say that McIlroy would be better suited if he listens to the warnings and advice of the former world number one, who knows all about what it takes to get to the top and remain at the top.

Kaymer became the top golfer in the world when he won the Quarter Final round of his match at the World Golf Championships: Accenture Match Play Championships last year to become only the second ever German to achieve the feat. Although Martin Kaymer did not hold on to the title for too long, losing in the final of the event to the eventual world number one Luke Donald, he still managed to achieve a feat that most people from his country thought was impossible.

Currently sitting at number four in the Official World Golf Rankings or the OWGR, Kaymer also knows that if he manages to pull together a string of good performances from now to the end of the season, he might as well replace Rory McIlroy as the number one golfer in the world. He also acknowledged the fact that being the top golfer in the world has an entirely different meaning.

Martin Kaymer also forewarned McIlroy that being number one in the world has a lot of difficulties in terms of the expectations of the people and oneself and he will have to watch behind his back every time and a single poor result in a tournament could change everything.

Finally, Martin Kaymer, the once rampaging German golfer, has talked about his grim loss at his favorite hunting place. He has always been hailed as a king of Abu Dhabi. He missed the cut this year by not snatching a victory the 2nd time in last 5 years.

Many times, Martin’s critics have got surprised by his performance as he won this event 3 times in last 4 years. Once, he took the second place.

This year, he got denied in the halfway cut and Kaymer was embarrassment for not going beyond the halfway mark.  In the next event, which was the Qatar Masters, Martin Kaymer made a firm return by ending for a joint 8th. He believes that has to work on short game so that he can avoid such bitter embarrassment in the future.

He told that expectations were very high in Abu Dhabi. He did not really start the way he wanted, but last week in Qatar was a lot better. He had a whole lot of chances, especially on the weekend. In the end, it might have been a lot better. He added that it is just a matter of time that he will score very good scores again, therefore, he just need to wait.

At the beginning of the last season, Martin Kaymer surged to the top of the OWGR (Official World Golf Rankings). For quite a long period, he is staying at the 4th spot and his performance at the Qatar Masters saved him from going down in the list. After Bernhard Langer, he turned to be the second German golfer to go up to the top of the Official World Golf Rankings, when he snatched a victory at the WGC Accenture Match Play Championship, previous year.

Martin Kaymer, the new world No.1 and the PGA Championship winner in 2010, has missed the cut for the Masters and failed to even break par, which comes as a major surprise in the golf-circuit.

Kaymer is an exceptionally talented player and there is a belief that he will be able to turn around this negative phase of his game with his brilliance and class. Some however say that his ball flight which is left to right is not suited for the Augusta National layout and hence the disappointing result. Martin Kaymer however is a player with a lot of talent and the young German will ultimately be getting the best out of his game. The manner in which he holed a lengthy putt against Bubba Watson at the PGA Championship was brilliant. He showed poise when he was one down in the shootout as he holed a birdie on the 17 and getting the job done in the last and winning his first major.

Kaymer started 2011 with a grand victory with an eight-shot victory against Rory McIlroy in the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship. His third win in the tournament. Tiger Woods’ failing form and Lee Westwood’s slow start along with his winning streak, helped Kaymer gather world ranking points and ensured him to bag the world No.1 ranking after the Accenture Match Play in February, 2011. He reached the top of the charts in the world ranking at the young age of 26 years.

Kaymer’s performance and his consistent win in tournaments and majors has ensured that he wins the Golfer of the Month award, and in 2011 he won it twice, once after winning the UBS Hong Kong Open and again after winning the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship in January of 2011.

Martin Kaymer will start the new season as the world No. 4.
