SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Martin Kaymer was barely 4 months old when Bernhard Langer won the first of his two Masters, and yet the age difference is hardly a barrier.

When you are from a country that produces a dearth of golfers, let alone world-class players, you are going to share a bond.

And it can’t get much stronger than it did on Sunday at Whistling Straits, where Kaymer, 25, became just the second German to win a major championship.

Langer, as you would expect, was riveted to his television at home in Florida.

“It would be huge,” Langer said by telephone as he watched Kaymer play the back nine. “It’s very important for Germany. He’s got a great head on his shoulders. He’s still very young, but he is much more mature than his age. He’s got good looks, a great temperament and it would be wonderful for not only if he were to win this major but also to get in the Ryder Cup.’
