Kaymer Comes Through

Despite our best efforts to curse him on Friday Martin Kaymer survived a final-round collapse to win the BMW International Open in Munich with a play off victory over Anders Hansen.

The 23 year old led by six shots going into the last day but he struggled in the final round, even carding a triple bogey eight at the 11th.

He needed a birdie at the 18th to match Hansen's target of 15 under.

And on the first extra hole, a birdie four from Kaymer was enough for victory after Hansen found two bunkers.

The win pushed Kaymer up to sixth place on the European Ryder Cup ladder.
