Kaymer loses six-shot lead but

wins play-off for BMW title

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Germany's Martin Kaymer came through the most searching test of his young career today - and now lies sixth in the Ryder Cup race.
The 23-year-old won the BMW International in Munich for his second European Tour title, but only after losing a six-shot lead and being forced into a play-off by Dane Anders Hansen.
He dedicated the victory to his seriously ill mother, crying and saying: "This was for you."
After three days of superb golf, Kaymer struggled to the turn in 38 and when he ran up a triple-bogey 8 on the long 11th, hitting two balls in the lake short of the green, it was all going horribly wrong.
Hansen, who had knee surgery less than a month ago and was playing his first event since his return, set the target of 15 under par 273 with a closing birdie for a 67.
Kaymer, though, matched it with a 75 and when they returned to the 568yd hole he struck a massive drive and his approach finished just seven feet from the flag.
With Hansen in two bunkers and not even making par it did not matter that the Dusseldorf player, compared on Friday by Bernhard Langer to Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson for his smart and aggressive mix, failed with his eagle attempt.
He moves up four spots in the cup standings with only 10 weeks left and now has a great chance of making his debut in September.
English trio Paul Casey, John Bickerton and Mark Foster tied for third on 13 under 275, while Colin Montgomerie's 16th place on 280 after a closing 71 was his best stroke play finish since January.
The only other Scot to make the weekend action, Alastair Forsyth, finished one shot behind with a 68 for 281 and a share of 24th place.
