The universe messed with Martin Kaymer Sunday at The Players Championship. Specifically, it was Mother Nature having some wicked fun on Mother’s Day. But the lightning storm that interrupted what was shaping up as an easy march to one of golf’s biggest titles gave us a chance to truly assess the 29-year-old German.

Once again, Jordan Spieth was in the final group of a big tournament on a Sunday. Once again, he came up short of being crowned a champion. It happened at the Masters last month, when the 20-year-old Spieth was tied with Bubba Watson at the start of the day, and he ended up shooting a 72 and finishing tied for second, three strokes behind Watson. And it happened again on Sunday at TPC Sawgrass. Spieth...

Martin Kaymer is $1.8 million richer after a gritty finish saw him take the 2014 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday at 13 under. Kaymer held on for a one-stroke victory over Jim Furyk. Furyk will undoubtedly lament another close loss, but pocketing just over $1 million for second will help him get over it. The payouts at this tournament are elite. One of the main factors for...
