Martin Kaymer eyeing a win at the BMW International Open
Martin Kaymer is all set for his second European Tour win and for that, he has chosen his home ground, Golf Club München Eichenried, where the BMW International Open will be staged from June 23 to 26, 2011.
Former world number one, Kaymer, who failed to impress the crowd at the US open, learned his lesson from the loss. He is taking practice sessions seriously and is confident for his return to the course, where he first teed-off
in 2003 as an amateur. München Eichenried is the very same venue where the world saw an amateur turning into a rookie and the winner of the title, just after a gap of five years.
The 26-year-old Kaymer has returned to the tournament after a long pause of three years. The world saw him becoming a nine-time winner on the European Tour, which includes a major championship as well in this span. Not only that,
he also earned the honour of becoming the second German after Bernhard Langer to climb the highest spot of the Official World Golf Rankings.
Excited over the feeling of playing in front of family and friends, Kaymer said, "For me, it's nice to be home for a week. I am not too far from playing well again. It's nice to play in front of my friends."
Last Thursday, when the Managing Director of München Eichenried Golf Club, Korbinian Kofler, confirmed the appearance of Kaymer in the tournament, the veteran was busy competing in the US Open. His game had lost the magic, his
swings had become weak and he was helpless against the long pars of the American course. But watching his Ryder Cup partner Rory McIlroy lifting the Claret Jug gave him a whole new volume of motivation, which eventually became the power in his drives.
The player is working on his swings and is ready to add another trophy to his showcase by playing in front of the crowd that will roar for him at the 23rd edition of the BMW International Open.
