"It can be rather nice to get the best of somebody who may perhaps be the most effective golf player in the world, probably the most effective golfer that ever lived," Kaymer said. "To be in front of him being a little bit ?a we'll see how long it takes him to get the best of me again ?a however you recognize, it helps make me very pretty pleased to be better in the world ranks than the most effective golf player in the world Golf Putter."

"I'm just not as interested in the ranks as some. ... I'm just more interested in getting my game ready being the majors." Kaymer started his round with birdies on the 2nd and 3rd holes, and had extended his result over McIlroy to seven golf shots by the turn. "I am delighted, especially with the means I played golf today," Kaymer said. "The most essential thing being me was today that I had fun. If I have fun, then I play good golf. I played with Rory and we absolutely had a lot of fun on the course. He struggled a little bit on the first nine Golf Putter.

After nine holes, I consider I was leading by seven golf shots and then I basically knew if I just keep playing the means I do, I'm just probably going to gain." McIlroy said he quickly gave up thoughts of challenging Kaymer, and played most of the round looking to stave off those behind him. "After the first small amount of holes today, I was just looking to consolidate 2nd place, that's all your are playing being," McIlroy said. "Martin played wonderful all week and I would not consider there seemed to be anyone in the world who would have topped him this week."
