The 2014 PLAYERS Championship was a heartbreaker for the locals as Martin Kaymer made an unbelievable putt on the 17th green while Jim Furyk missed a makeable birdie putt on the 18th green to tie. After a rain delay, Kaymer came back out and parred the home hole for his first PLAYERS Championship.
It was a great PLAYERS that featured the near miracle Sunday 66 comeback by Furyk, but headlined Kaymer ‘s 63 to start on Thursday and his persistent wire-to-wire win. Kaymer went on to win the U.S. Open in June by eight strokes at Pinehurst for his second major victory (2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits)!
