Struggling Kaymer serves up blistering round

BLISTERING heat and a blistered foot served only to bring out the best in young German star Martin Kaymer in Paris yesterday, the 24-year-old beginning the French Open Alstom with a course record-equalling 62.

So bad was Kaymer’s right foot that as well as being seen by a doctor he had a hole cut in his golf shoe to allow him to play Wednesday’s pro-am.

With the help of his three partners he won that by four with an amazing 16 under par best-ball of 55, but to be only seven worse than that on his own underlined what a massive talent he is.
