Adam Scott wins The Barclays

Australian golfer Adam Scott has moved to second place in the Official Golf World Rankings following his successful play at The Barclays, the first in a series of four playoff events of the season ending FedEx Cup that will crown the FedEx Cup champion at the Tour Championship.

The first ever Australian to win the US Masters, Scott pocketed a handsome payday of $ 1.4 million thanks to some brilliant all round display at the Liberty National Golf Club and can look forward to the Deutsche Bank Championship this weekend as he aims to end the season which saw him win his first ever major title on a high.

With three tournaments still to go on the US PGA Tour, Scott, who won the US Masters back in April, is in a prime position to challenge the authority of a certain Tiger Woods at the top of the Official World Golf Rankings and with the American expected to sit out of the Deutsche Bank Championship, Adam Scott will know he has a good enough chance to close the gap on Tiger Woods at the top of the rankings.

Scott has already won $ 4.6 million this year in a season where he has been extremely consistent and apart from his win at the US Masters, he has also earned nine finishes in the top 25 as well. And having been pushed so hard by the likes of Justin Rose and Tiger Woods for the title, Scott seemed very surprised that he managed to hold out till the end.

Speaking to the media, Adam Scott stated that the feeling hasn’t sunk in yet, and added that the year has been a great one for him and he is looking forward to adding some more silverware to his collection before the year is out.

All about Martin Kaymer

When it comes to golf, then some mention has to be made of Martin Kaymer. Born of German descent, he was ranked the number one, when he became the runner up of WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in 2011. He is the member of the European tour.

Martin Kaymer was in the news recently, when he broke par in all the four days at the most difficult and coveted TPC Four Seasons Resort course, at the Nelson. Only another player matched Kaymer’s accomplishment, and that was Sang-moon Bae, who went on to become the winner in this tournament. Kaymer ended his play at joint fifth, and it is not that big a deal in the golfing world, it is indeed a headliner because it’s his top ten for the first time in an official PGA Tour.

And this has indeed been termed as one of the biggest accomplishments on Martin Kaymer’s part as a couple of years back, he had fallen backwards, and did not improve quite as much as everyone was hoping he would. His finishes in all the PGA Tour events also did not stir much attention as they weren’t all that great.  What he is known for mostly is the fact that he has done brilliantly in the last three years at the Accenture Match Play Championship. But what he has done here at Nelson is really commendable as he overcame the Whistling Straits over Bubba Watson during the playoffs.

Another bit of news that is making the rounds in the golfing circuit is the fact that whether Kaymer prefers joining forces with Marcel Siem at the World Cup held in Royal Melbourne. This is because he did extremely well in Round 4 as he was playing with paired German partner Siem, and he aced the round. So this remains to be seen.

Martin Kaymer

Martin Kaymer is a professional golfer from Germany and is a former world number one, having reached the top of the Official Golf World Rankings in 2011. He scaled the top of the rankings by finishing as the runner up in the World Golf Championship Accenture Match Play Championship but he would rule the golf world only for eight weeks before losing the top spot to English golfer Lee Westwood.

Born in Dusseldorf in Germany in 1984, Kaymer turned professional at the age of 21 years in 2005. He joined the European Tour in that same year. Till date, Kaymer has won 10 titles on the European Tour, four of which came in 2010, winning the Race to Dubai, which was formerly known as the Order of Merit. Among those wins that won Martin Kaymer the Race to Dubai title was The PGA Championship, a win that made him only the second German in history to win a Major championship after the legendary Bernhard Langer.

Kaymer also went on to win the World Golf Championship HSBC Champions in 2011, thus becoming only the tenth player in the history of golf to win a major championship as well as a World Golf Championship event. The German was the star man for the European team in the Ryder Cup of 2012, and he sank a putt in the 18th hole on the final day of the event to help his European team retain the Ryder Cup.

The European team overturned a deficit of four points against the United States team on the final day, a performance that brought Martin Kaymer fame throughout the European golf circuit and he was hailed as one of the brightest prospects for Europe against the barrage of American golfers that tend to dominate the world of golf.

Kaymer Sets His Focus on Honda Classic

Last September in the 2012 season, what Martin Kaymer faced at the Ryder Cup before he could win it has been regarded one of the toughest and the most intense golf playing in his golf career. He was in a position where one wrong move during the putt in the hole would cost Europe the cup to United States who would then be regarded as the only contender to claim the trophy.

According to the pressure faced, Martin Kaymer took the shot and holed the putt and as a result Europe could defend the cup but overall the match was really bland. On the other hand, Tiger Woods missed a short putt and Francesco Molinari got the putt in the final singles. This is what turned the match to the European side. Taking the overall results into consideration, Europe walked away with the matches.

The German player Martin Kaymer will appear in the tournament named Honda classic due this week for the first time in his career of golf. But because he is acquainted with the PGA National Champion course, the Classic will not be any cause of headache for him and he actually looked relaxed about it when asked in an interview.

After he had won the US PGA Championship for the first time in 2010, he earned the third rank in the world rankings of golf. If we look at his career, Martin Kaymer has quite a lot of points to impress us since 2010. He has now a major, a World Golf Championship event and eight regular tournaments in Europe to his name. Now Martin Kaymer is all set for this week, to go grab a regular PGA tournament in Florida and add it as another feather to his cap.

Martin Kaymer

Martin Kaymer is a German golfer, playing professionally on the European Tour as well as the PGA Tour on some occasions. He is a former world number one, securing the most coveted spot in the sport when he usurped the throne on the 27th of February 2011after his second placed finish at the World Golf Championship – Accenture Match Play Championship, but he lost out on the top spot after just eight weeks when Lee Westwood of England reclaimed the top spot from him.

Born on the 28th of December in 1984, in Dusseldorf in Germany, Kaymer showed a great aptitude for the sport from a very young age and picked up his first win in the sport at the age of just 20 years when he won the Central German Classic back in 2005 as an amateur. The young Martin Kaymer made his debut on the European Tour as a professional back in 2007 at the UBS Hong Kong Open, although he failed to make the cut in the event. He went on to miss the cut in the first five events he participated in. but in March 2008, he managed to make his first when he achieved it at the Singapore Masters, eventually finishing the event tied for the 20th place.

Although he missed six cuts in the first seven events that he took part in, the events were taking place outside of mainland Europe and once he began to play in Europe, Martin Kaymer began to come into his own and his since then, has found success on the Tour.

Although he is yet to win a major title, it is only a matter of time before the German lands one of the biggest prizes in the sport and gives some competition to the runaway leader Rory McIlroy.
