This year, German golfer Martin Kaymer won his very first title at the Nedbank Golf Challenge with a final round 3-under-par-69. He defeated Charl Schwartzel of South Africa by two strokes. The twenty seven year old golfer sunk 4 birdies at 7162m Gary Player Country Club. He came out ahead of the South African in spite of a double-bogey on 3rd following his eagle on par-5 second.

After the match, the former world number one golfer told that the second hole was a kind of extra – two great shots as well as a nice putt. The third one was not really good as he hit a bad tee shot and got into trouble.
He added that the biggest luck for him was on fourteen with his tee shot and making a birdie after that. He might have easily made a 6 or 7, so that was quite lucky that he found that ball in the right place and might chip that down the fairway and make 4 from there.

At one point of time, Kaymer was tied with South African players Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel; and US golfer American Bill Haas, at 5-under. But his consistent performance brought success at the rain filled Sun City resort.

This victory was very important for the German after a bad season. Early last year, Keymar was the world number one, but his performance went down at the end of the season. Martin Kaymer told that he was very happy after winning this year.

Martin Kaymer feels that he will continue his good run at the Portuguese soil as he moves on to start his campaign at the Oceanico Victoria Golf Course on October 11. Kaymer holds a very good record playing in Portugal where he managed to register top-ten finish twice.

Few days back, Martin Kaymer played a terrific role in Europe’s Ryder Cup win as he outclassed US’ Steve Stricker in a singles match to secure one point that was needed for Europe’s victory. Incidentally, Europe came from behind and retained their Ryder Cup title. Kaymer required a six-foot putt in the 18^th green to make it happen for Europe and he did it successfully. Later on a discussion Martin Kaymer told that it was not that easy because of the mounting pressure. All he had to do was to keep his mind cool and he did it with perfection.

The 27-year old German had a disastrous before the Ryder Cup where he didn’t even secure a single top-ten finish. But the 2010 PGA Winner rose to the occasion and proved his class. Now he thinks he is getting back his form. He mentioned that he emphasized on his swing so much that his short game was neglected a bit. Now he has started working on it and feels that it will be a matter of time when he will reach his peak. Martin Kaymer finished 34^th at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship recently and told that he made some serious mistakes which troubled him at the Championship.

Kaymer is now busy rectifying his putting techniques as he heads forward to Portugal. According to him the previous experiences will fetch him some advantages in Portugal. He also asserted that he was contended with the way he hit the ball. He didn’t bother much about his performance at the Alfred Dunhill as he thought it was a bad day. Now he is confident about going there and have a go at it.
