I thought as long as a normal one but he is on his second and says you never know when this one can fail. I wonder if the body rejects them are what

Congrats Kaymer Tiger Like in your victory.

Halfway through that last putt, it's like Kaymer's reaction was like jeez I really am in god mode.

Donald trump in full troll mode on twitter, calling Pinehurst a cow pasture. What a whore.

Trump probably thinks anything that isn't a gilded penthouse apartment in Manhattan is a cow pasture.

They have to take medication to help keep the body from rejecting it right after the surgery.

Great interview!

And comes across as a really nice guy - and has a decent sense of humour.

As much as I dislike Johnny Miller it is really going to suck not having him from here on out. Who the hell is gonna broadcast for fox?

Buck and Greg Norman confirmed. Others TBA.

Compton and Koepka get in the Masters.

Very happy for Kaymer. He can definitely compete with Rory and Adam for a long time

If he carries on like this he will do more than compete with them!

I guess he will win at least 2 more Majors, and possibly more if he doesn't change things again lol!

Not necessarily but sorry this course just wasn't that telegenic compared to places like Olympic, Pebble, etc. I'm sure it's a great course and all with a lot of history, but as a fan watching at home it just didn't have much visual wow factor.

Also even Johnny Miller commented on the ridiculous greens, said "these turtle-back greens are over the top".

Is there somewhere we can see strokes gained putting for individual tournaments? I would like to know what Kaymer's was for the week.

You can't see the perfection of number2 on tv. It is just one of those courses that says here I am come get me when you stand on each tee.

Not alot of hidden or tricked up bs.

Also you just can't appreciate the slopes and elevation changes on tv. 9 and 6 have insane pitches on them.

Shouldn't they explore camera options whether some kind of new technology or angle to better show off courses and just how difficult some of these shots, slopes, etc are? All sports have done it in a sense and I know golf has introduced their own little gadgets but it'd be cool to see.

Pretty beast by Kaymer congrats. People can't complain about the difficulty of the course, the scores reflect a tough test so I guess at this point it's about the look of the course for that crowd.....

This. I played there once back in 05 and there are a few greens where when you're standing right next to them you can't even see the top. It really is an amazing course and an amazing design. I wish I could play it every day.

But not from the back tees!

Does it, though? I find this hard to believe.

Good point. The NFL has those cameras that swing across and over the field on wires. Can't they ****ing do this with towers and trees everywhere? This would be awesome.

Great job Kaymer though, albeit at the detriment of our entertainment. Total domination. Two pretty anticlimactic majors thus far.
