KAYMER CONFIRMS FOR COMMERCIAL BANK QATAR MASTERS

NEWS RELEASE
Doha (QATAR): European No 1 and World No 3 Martin Kaymer has confirmed he will join a world-class field when Doha Golf Club stages the 14th Commercialbank Qatar Masters, presented by Dolphin Energy from February 3-6.
The young German will be making his fourth appearance in Qatar and will have his eye on a third Middle East European Tour title following victories in Abu Dhabi in 2008 and 2010.
And the 26 year-old – who has stormed to the top of the world game since turning pro in 2005 – will be keen to master a course that continues to provide a major challenge.
“Martin is arguably the greatest young talent in the world today and we look forward to congratulating him on becoming the new European Number One,” said Hassan Al Nuami, President of the Qatar Golf Association (QGA), organisers of the tournament in association with the Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC) and title sponsors Commercialbank.
“But while he has always done well in Abu Dhabi and Dubai where he has not finished outside of the top four on his last six visits, in Qatar he has yet to finish higher than 31st which once again emphasises the unique challenge of Doha Golf Club, a course we believe to be the toughest on the Desert Swing.”

Kaymer came into last year’s Commercialbank Qatar Masters fresh from victory in the UAE capital and went onto finish in 32nd place well behind eventual winner Robert Karlsson.
