Martin Kaymer completed his second wire-to-wire win in the space of five weeks with an utterly dominant display in the US Open Championship at Pinehurst No.2.
Looking to become the first German player to win the title - although the fourth European in the last five years after Ryder Cup team-mates Graeme McDowell, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose - Kaymer took a five shot lead into the final round and was never in danger of being caught.
Successive rounds of 65 - the lowest in a US Open at Pinehurst - meant Kaymer had equalled the lowest halfway total in Major Championship history, as well as eclipsing the US Open record of 131 set by Rory McIlroy at Congressional in 2011.
His six-shot halfway lead also matched the championship record shared by Tiger Woods (2000) and McIlroy (2011), while he joined McIlroy in becoming the only players to reach double digits under par in the first two rounds.
A third round of 72 in testing conditions succeeded in only reducing his lead by a single shot and no-one got within four in a final round which may have lacked drama, but which succeeded in identifying a worthy winner now back on the fringes of the Official World Golf Ranking's top ten after lying outside the top 60 only last month.
