Kaymer happy with top-10 finish in Dubai after tough year (Reuters)
By Matt Smith DUBAI (Reuters) – Martin Kaymer said he was happy with his form after a final round 68 earned him a top-10 finish at the DP World Tour Championship on Sunday, providing an upbeat ending to what the German described as an average season. The former world number one faltered in the middle two rounds, carding successive 71s, but then recovered from a bogey on the final round’s second hole with six subsequent birdies and only one more dropped shot. “But then I played well, got it back to two-under on the front nine and then had a few chances on the back nine but couldn’t make them all.” Kaymer squandered a 10-stroke final round lead at January’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, one of the biggest shocks on the tour in recent seasons, while five tour top-10 finishes this year represents a poor return for such an accomplished golfer.
