Martin Kaymer wins Open de France ALSTOM
Martin Kaymer, who last month committed to joining the TaylorMade-adidas Golf Tour Staff in 2010, captured the Open de France ALSTOM in a playoff yesterday.
The victory, Kaymer's third on the European Tour, elevated him to 19th in the Official World Golf Rankings. One of the European Tour's rising stars, Kaymer was named the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year for 2007, then won twice in 2008; the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship and the BMW International Open.
"This is precisely why we wanted Martin on our Tour Staff," said Chuck Presto, TaylorMade-adidas Golf's senior vice president of sports marketing. "He's a great competitor who knows how to win. We're looking forward to helping him reach his full potential as a tour professional."
