SOUNDBITE: (English) Martin Kaymer:

Q: "It doesn't seem like two years since you holed the winning putt in the last Ryder Cup."
"No, actually because I watched it a few times on TV recently too, so it doesn't feel like two years ago. Obviously very, very good memories that you should, that I will remember for the rest of my life, for the rest of my career, but when you play (an) event like this it's quite nice to refresh the memories a little bit and the feelings, so it was on TV quite often actually when I was in America recently.... the 2012 Ryder Cup. So, yes, so I watched a little bit of that."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Martin Kaymer:

"When you're standing here at the Ryder Cup, on the first tee, in 2010 it was very intimidating for me. It was too much. I couldn't really handle the whole situations because I was overwhelmed. It was.... I couldn't us it in a positive way. It was more distracting for my mind to get to know all the crowds, to get to know.... I don't know how to explain it, but playing in the jungle a little bit, without having a clear mind what you actually have to do now. And in the end of the day, in 2012 I had a very nice conversation with Bernhard Langer.... and, pretty much the moral of the whole talk was, in the end of the day it's just you, a golf ball and a golf course, that you have to play. If the people (spectators) wouldn't be there.... that's it, it's pretty simple. And then, we talked about that, imagine now if you can use, the thousands of people for yourself in a positive way, that they carry you, so there's nothing negative about it. But I didn't think that clear when I was there in 2010. Now it's a little bit different, now it's more enjoyment that you can use for yourself to, to raise your game."
