Kaymer in rallying cry after Shanghai win
Martin Kaymer vowed to give Race to Dubai leader Luke Donald a hard time after cutting his advantage in the European money list with victory at the lucrative WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai today.
The German is now €1,026,930 behind world number one Donald in the rankings after a nine-under-par 63 on the final day saw him win by three shots in China.
Sweden's Fredrik Jacobson was second, with Ireland's Graeme McDowell third and his compatriot Rory McIlroy in a tie for fourth with England's Paul Casey and South African Charl Schwartzel.
Kaymer admits it will still be difficult to rein in Donald - who missed the world championship event this week as he and his wife prepare for the birth of their second daughter - but now has the Englishman in his sights.
"Obviously Luke is a very nice guy and he deserves to be number one in the world," Kaymer told www.europeantour.com.
"He deserves to be number one in Europe. It will be difficult (to catch him), but that is what the sport is about, to challenge yourself, challenge the other players that you play with week in, week out, and of course I will try to give him a hard time.
"We'll see. It's not easy to get him away from the number one spot."
Kaymer, who won the USPGA Championship last year, completed the biggest last-day comeback in world championship history.
He produced a stunning run of nine birdies in his final 12 holes to turn a five-shot deficit to overnight leader Jacobson at the start of the day into a three-shot win.
