Germany's Martin Kaymer shot an incredible final-round of 63 to win the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai on Sunday.

Martin Kaymer returns to the KLM Open today to defend his title, hoping to come out on top for the second year running at Hilversum - despite the challenge being far greater this time around.

It was a tough day for some of the world's top players in the first round of the Open Championship yesterday.

Australia's Richard Green and Graeme Storm from the UK were ahead of the rest of the field at six-under after the first round of the French Open yesterday. 

The certainty of the plagued Irish Open, which lost its title sponsorship in November, is being threatened again following the announcement the prize fund is being halved and some of the world’s top golfers are withdrawing. 

Despite their status as the world's top players, it seems that when it came down to the crunch neither Westwood, Donald nor Kaymer could even break par in the opening round of the US Open.

Luke Donald may be enjoying his status as the world's top ranked player, but as far as he's concerned it's nothing next to winning his first major.

He may be majorless, but world number two Lee Westwood is confident he has what it takes to land his first major title at the US Open, which starts on Thursday.

The groupings for next week's US Open were revealed yesterday, and the world-ranked top 3 will be up against each other for the first two rounds.

The European Tour's flagship event - the BMW PGA Championship - is here again and the caliber of previous winners shows exactly why this tournament is known as the fifth major.
