Plenty of US Open contenders, says Kaymer

MARTIN KAYMER may be a marquee player at Congressional Country Club this week but such is the strength in depth in modern golf, the German believes the 2011 US Open champion could be any one of 40 players.

The US PGA champion and world number three will line up on the first tee alongside Luke Donald and Lee Westwood to form a group containing the world’s first, second and third ranked players.

Yet with the last 10 majors producing 10 different winners and no dominant figure in the game since Tiger Woods went into decline, Kaymer believes this week’s US Open is really up for grabs.
