Kaymer: Players win feels like a Major

Martin Kaymer admitted his Players Championship victory felt like another Major title after a dramatic triumph in near-darkness at Sawgrass on Sunday.

Kaymer became just the fourth European to win the event in 41 years after carding a final round of 71 to finish 13 under par, one shot ahead of Jim Furyk.

The former world number one had looked to be cruising to victory when he held a three-shot lead on the 14th, only for an approaching thunderstorm to force the players off the course. Furyk was facing a short par putt on the 18th when play was suspended, the American biting his putter in frustration as thunder sounded overhead.
