His short irons were the real problem. Too often having 150 or less in and hitting it to 30 feet. Just not getting it in tight enough. Any birdie putts inside 10 feet he holed.

Whilst you are right about his irons not being nailed in, his putter was definitely very cold this week. In fact, I rarely saw him make a putt from outside 10ft and he said the same himself after yesterday's round.

Elsewhere... poor etiquette from the marshal asking for his autograph as he walked off the 18th... let him fulfill his obligations and sign his card first.

Au contraire, sh1te happens and it will happen again, maybe not to him but it will happen again.

Of course, but to kaymer, hard to see.

You know he will go and sort it.

But, there is a worrying weakness somewhere in him, as at his age he should have won more (imo) - yet at other times he looks perfect almost robotic.

was surprised how he showed how upset he was.

2 weeks in row now that the final round leaders have had a disaster and lost the tournament.

That's true and to be fair, I'm sure he will be taking a lot of positives away this week. He actually didn't do an awful lot wrong today, he was just severely punished when he did make a mistake.

When you look at it, there were only 2 holes today which cost him the tournament.

It is only golf . But not for them.
A pride
Their Job
Their life.

Yes . Not a big tournament. But if you seen interview after. The most impressive thing is how shaken he was.
He said he needed to reflect.

Great to see as wealthy as him care .

He knows these things are little tests for learning to close out and win.

We know kaymer has and will do that.
It separates the great from the good.

To expand my earlier post...

He finished Top 3, played great stuff for 70 holes and all in all a very good result from a deep field.
Rory had a very similar week and finished just one shot ahead.
Why concentrate on the last holes of the round and take negatives away?

He sounds like a broken man in the interviews and 99% of golf fans understand why.

FixdePitchmark

I just felt Kaymer . From a young lad was going to dominate golf at a now Rory level.

He has at times, But seems so up and down.

But he looks like a man who is ready to take his place.

He should be way more important than a Bubba Watson / Rose for example. .

But at least he has 2 to his name.

Hoping he is a key man in 2015. Not too many people looking like being the Rory rival. Perhaps Speith. But early for him.

You might be surprised by a 14 time major champ. Watch this space. Also, Dustin has apparently been doing great things during his "time off to sort his personal issues out".

To be honest, I'd be more worried about him if he wasn't upset about what happened today.

I see Peter Lawrie's connections are working well for him.

Invite secured for Qatar this week and the next 2 tournaments in Dubai and Malaysia as well.

Just needs to get it going on the course now.

Hoey and McGrane in the field as well this week.

Wednesday to Saturday tournament in Doha so it all gets underway early doors tomorrow morning.

Speak Now

Decent starts for Mcgrane and Lawrie.

Mantis Toboggan

Is mcllroy playing this week?

68 for McGrane, currently tied 5th, 70 for Lawrie tied 17th. Hopefully Lawrie will make the cut this week after a couple of near misses.

Well spotted! Delighted for Lawrie. I feel that if he had one good week it would just get him going. Hope he takes this opportunity!

Not playing this week buy due to play in Dubai. Then he will be spending a few weeks in Dublin

Well done Peter Lawrie shooting a -4 round today. Now sitting on -6 for the tournament, tied 10th. C'mon lad!

Tommy Fleetwood doing well also, would like to see him make Augusta

I fancy Sergio to win this again. Only 3 off the pace and loves it around there. Have a feeling he could do it again

That's him done for so :P

McGrane and Michael Hoey safely through too.

FixdePitchmark

I think this wins the most pointless ugly event on the "European tour", yes it is the money the weather all that.

On a separate note still can't believe this place are getting world cup.

Still watching

Whatever happens to Grace as season goes on. The guy is a money machine but sort of on the off-piste season. Whilst the big guys build up a season , this part of the season can be very important for other tour players.

Shot a 77 today!, his previous worst round in the last 4 years was a 70!

Great finish today, delighted to see Grace win after this eagle on 16, great tee shot

Rikand

Twas a fabulous Eagle!

Great win for him indeed
