The Outlook

He once claimed a PGA Championship from (kinda) out of nowhere, then four years later won a U.S. Open from (sorta) out of nowhere. So now, another four years since that last victory, with Kaymer seemingly struggling before this week, maybe he can claim a third leg of the career slam (a bit) out of nowhere. If he does it, I’m putting everything I own on him at the 2022 Masters — you know, patterns and stuff.
