Kaymer wins PGA Championship

08/15/2010 - Kohler, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Kaymer defeated Bubba Watson in a playoff Sunday to earn his first major title at the 92nd PGA Championship.

Kaymer won by a stroke at even-par in the three-hole playoff despite a bogey at the closing hole.

The German did collect his first major and first PGA Tour win, but the interesting story happened before the three-hole aggregate playoff.

Dustin Johnson was given a two-stroke penalty after his round and that knocked him out of a playoff at Whistling Straits.

"I don't know if I can describe it," Johnson told CBS' David Feherty Sunday. "Walking up there, seeing the shot, never once did it cross my mind it was a sand trap."

Johnson held a one-stroke lead on the 18th tee Sunday and pushed his drive into the gallery on the right. His ball landed in a small sandy patch and he grounded his club before pulling his shot well left of the green.

He pitched to seven feet and if he would have made it, he thought that would've been for the title. Johnson missed and thought he was headed to a playoff with Watson and Kaymer.

"The only worse thing that could've happened is if I would have made that putt," Johnson said.

When Johnson walked off the green, he was greeted by a PGA official. Johnson and playing partner Nick Watney sat in the scorer's tent for several minutes before it was determined that Johnson was getting a two-stroke penalty for grounding his club.

"If it was up to me, I wouldn't have thought I was in a bunker, but it's not up to me," Johnson said.

"That was an area that was designed and built as a bunker," PGA official Mark Wilson said in a television interview.

Johnson ended up with a one-over 73 and missed the playoff by two strokes.

Watson (68) and Kaymer (70) finished regulation at 11-under 277.

Zach Johnson (70) and Rory McIlroy (72) tied for third at 10-under 278.

Dustin Johnson was joined in a tie for fifth by 1995 PGA Champion Steve Elkington and Jason Dufner, who both had rounds of one-under 71 on Sunday.

Tiger Woods had a one-over 73 and tied for 28th at minus-two, while Phil Mickelson carded a five-under 67 to vault into a tie for 12th at six-under 282.
