(1st)Kaymer wins Alfred Dunhill Championship.

25 year old German, Martin Kaymer is in the habit of winning these day's. After claiming his first Major at the USPGA, he followed up with a run away win at the KLM Dutch Open and now he claimed a hat trick with a three shot win at the Alfred Dunhill Championship. Kaymer became the first player to win three times in a row on The European Tour since Tiger Woods in 2006.

Kaymer started with a 68 on the Kingsbarn course, followed up with a 69 on a difficult day at St.Andrews and added a 68 at Carnoustie. In bitterly cold and windy conditions at St Andrews the 25 year old German added a closing 66 that included a 40 foot putt for birdie from off the back of the 17th green, and after landing on the tarmac road on the 18th, he hit a wedge to 15 feet and holed the putt for another birdie.

Danny Willett was runner up with a final round of 67 for a 14 under par return, beating the long time leader and his 2007 Walker Cup team mate John Perry by a single shot.

All 12 Irish took part with only 4 making the level par cut after 3 rounds. Padraig Harrington and Graeme McDowell both finished on 6 under par, claiming a share of 17th place. Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy finished in 53rd place on 2 over par.

Gareth Maybin hit a 69 around St.Andrews but missed the cut by a single shot as did Darren Clarke who slipped up with a 74 at Carnoustie. Damien McGrane was 3 under par playing Carnoustie but took 78 to miss out by 3 shots along with Peter Lawrie and Paul McGinley.

Gary Murphy and Michael Hoey were 6 over par and Simon Thornton had a bad tournament finishing 7 over par.
