Thankful

"There will never, ever, be a more important putt in my life. Even if I have a chance in two years' time again I've done it before already. "I'm just very thankful that I got the possibility to go through those moments and to experience all of the things that I did. "It's very difficult to describe. You're just so much in that moment. Fortunately it worked out." On meeting his brother after the drama, Kaymer admitted he had one big concern - how had he looked on television after sinking the cup-clinching putt. "You can see my emotions," he continued. "It was on a completely different level to the PGA (his major victory in 2010). I asked my brother 'Did I look ridiculous?' because I was in a complete new zone. "I have never seen myself like this. I have never reacted like this. "He said 'No, you're fine and even if you looked ridiculous it's a good thing because it comes natural. It's how you felt, it's a true feeling, it doesn't matter'. "I've watched it a few times on tv and YouTube and stuff. Yeah, it didn't look that bad!"
