Martin Kaymer capped off a fantastic week with…
"He inspired kids, teenagers, he inspired kinda like all of us.
"I find it so nasty that people just kick him while he's already on the floor.
"Why are you being so nasty? Why don't you try to do the opposite to help him now, the way he inspired us. that's why we are where we are now, that's why we can have what we have.
"He has a huge impact. My wish would be just stop being so nasty, try to help.
"We all want to see him happier and hopefully one day see him playing golf again, that's my only wish.
"Be kind."
Classy words from Kaymer, let's hope Tiger Woods will be back fit and healthy soon.
