Kaymer is breaking new ground

Since the beginning of February, Kaymer with girlfriend Irène Scholz and son Sam has been in the USA and trains intensively for his comeback after the baby break. "I have never taken enough time for it in the past two or three years," said the 37-year-old, who on Wednesday by video switch from Florida at the press conference for the Porsche European Open (June 2nd to 5th) in Lower Saxon Winsen/Luhe took part.

The new family situation had put the pressure on him not to have the feeling that he always had to stand on the golf course for ten hours, said Kaymer. He really enjoyed the time for the family and with the intensive training. Before the DP World Tour tournament, which ended with $ 1.75 million, he will be dismantled at the PGA Championship in Tulsa in the United States. In 2010 it was able to win its first of two major titles at this tournament. In 2014 he also won at US Open - but so far it was his last tournament success. In the world rankings, Kaymer is currently only in position 191.

Fleetwood and Casey come - Ferris wheel enables bird's eye view

At the home tournament in Winsen/Luhe, Kaymer meets strong competition on the difficult north course of the Green-Eagle system. The English trio around Ryder Cup star Tommy Fleetwood, last year's winner Marcus Armitage and audience favorite Paul Casey is just as much at the start as well as Sweden Golfstar Henrik Stenson, who is presenting himself for the first time as a European Ryder Cup captain at a tournament in Europe.

In addition to a high -class player field, the spectators in Winsen also expect a spectacular attraction away from the course: behind the 18th green, a 33 -meter -high ferris wheel is built, which promises an impressive view over the golf course.
