Kaymer seals back-to-back victories in Scotland

GERMAN Martin Kaymer won the Barclays Scottish Open at Loch Lomond yesterday to complete a brilliant eight-day double worth more than €1.16million.

After beating Lee Westwood in a play-off for the French Open, the 24-year-old came from behind on the final day again to defeat France’s Raphael Jacquelin and overnight leader Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano of Spain by two.

Last week’s cheque was just over £565,000. This week’s was £500,000 – and he now is not only second to Paul Casey on the European money list, but also just outside the world’s top 10 heading into the Open.
