Kaymer leaves star-studded field struggling

Martin Kaymer, one of the few golfers in the world who knows what it is like to score 59, sparkled again today when he began the £2m Portugal Masters in Vilamoura with an 11 under-par 61.

The 22-year-old German rookie left the rest of the star-studded field trailing in his wake by equalling the lowest round of the European Tour season and clipping two strokes off the Oceanico Victoria Club’s course record.
