Martin Kaymer put the PGA Tour on notice this past weekend, as he absolutely dominated Pinehurst No. 2 to win the 2014 U.S. Open by an unbelievable eight strokes.

Rory McIlroy posted a similarly dominant performance at the 2011 U.S. Open, but even he spoke out about just how incredible Kaymer's tournament was:

The German was successful in driving accurately, limiting his putts and hitting great approach shots. He did no wrong from Thursday to Sunday, finishing off one of the most remarkable performances of any golfer this season.

Without Tiger Woods in the field, many chose not to tune into the U.S. Open. Woods keeps fans on their couches, but Kaymer put together an incredibly impressive show. Peter Kostis of CBS Sports thinks it isn't fair that such a double standard exists:



Well, Mr. Kostis, Kaymer might not be flying under the radar much anymore.

The 29-year-old's U.S. Open win shouldn't come as a surprise. He won The Players Championship back in May, but he also won a major back in 2010. That year, he took care of business at the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.



Kaymer has always been a quality golfer, but this performance has established him as a name to watch moving forward. And that's fair. The 29-year-old has now won two of the past three tournaments he has entered, and he has likely now just entered his prime.

Already the winner of two majors, Kaymer is playing good enough golf right now to win another before he turns 30 in December. Anybody who wins two majors in one year is worth consideration among the game's elite.
