Kaymer’s second from 175 yards out marginally cleared the large lake guarding the green but Westwood then looked on aghast as he came up agonisingly short with his nine-iron approach. The Englishman then played a poor pitch from the drop zone his fourth shot and Kaymer clinched the biggest win of his career worth 666000 euros by sinking a 20-footer for par.
