We tend to think of golf pros as bloodless automatons, motivated only by money and majors, in that order. But every so often, it hits these guys: They're living a dream, playing a game in some of the world's most beautiful locales.
Martin Kaymer is trailing the field at the Grand Slam of Golf right now, but unlike most tournaments, being DFL here isn't the worst thing. (It's a field of four.) Still, Kaymer -- who won his first major this year, played well at the Ryder Cup, and has a chance to take over the No. 1 ranking soon -- said he found peace out on the Port Royal Golf Course.
"I didn’t play the best golf today," he said afterward. "But I was standing on 16 and trying to enjoy the moment. For me, I’m only five years a golf professional. I just thought about, 'It’s quite stunning to be here already that early in my career.' It was one of those moments where you realize you’re a winner. It takes some time to realize. It’s not normal what I’ve done the last few years, especially this year."
True indeed. Kaymer is well on his way to a singular golf career, and taking time to be thankful is the best way to keep the momentum going.
