Ryder Cup: First Look At Complete European Team
By Adam McGee
Martin Kaymer (31) – Germany
Ryder Cup Record: 4-3-3
It says a lot about the prodigious talent Kaymer possessed when he first came on tour, and everything that he’s managed to achieve since, that at the still relatively young age of 31 he’s a true veteran of Ryder Cup play.
When Kaymer tees it at up Hazeltine, it will be his fourth appearance in the event. He’s never been on the losing side at the matches, so Kaymer will be hoping to continue to build upon a reputation as something of a lucky charm for Europe.
Although Kaymer required a wildcard pick from captain Darren Clarke to work his way onto the team, he will come into this year’s event on the back of a solid run of form.
With an inconsistent game that’s fallen off on a couple of occasions in his career, 2016 has marked a return to consistent play for the German at the very least. Kaymer has made the cut in every event he’s played since March, recording six top 10 finishes along the way.
Having made the decisive putt at Medinah in 2012, Kaymer knows just how sweet Ryder Cup glory can taste and will be hoping to experience it again this time out.
