ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — PGA champion Martin Kaymer shot a final-round 6-under 66 to win the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship by three strokes Sunday.
His 17-under total of 271 over the Old Course at St. Andrews secured Kaymer’s third straight victory at a stroke-play event, following wins in the PGA Championship and KLM Dutch Open.
He became the first European player to achieve that feat since 1989 when Nick Faldo won the European PGA, British Masters and French Open titles. Tiger Woods had three straight victories in the United States in 2006.
Danny Willett of England finished second after he shot a 67 to reach 14 under.
Fellow Englishman Lee Westwood finished with a share of 11th place with 281 and missed a chance to replace Woods at the top of the rankings.
