Martin Kaymer said he wasn’t surprised by his dominating performance at the U.S. Open, where the former No. 1-ranked golfer in the world won by eight strokes and became the seventh player in the tournament’s 114-year history to lead after all four rounds.
The 29-year-old German, who also won the 2010 PGA Championship, shot a 1-under-par 69 yesterday at Pinehurst Resort’s No. 2 course in North Carolina for a 9 under total of 271. Americans Rickie Fowler and Erik Compton were a distant second at 1 under, the only other players to finish below par.
