We\u2019re getting down there (this is #6) and I can confirm that when you look back at these events \u2013 you struggle to see why anybody has any issues with parity<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the sixth most dominant and impressive performance from the past 13 major championships\u2026..<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>#7 \u2013 Martin Kaymer \u2013 Whistling Straits \u2013 2010 PGA Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People may always remember the 2010 PGA Championship for Dustin Johnson and the was he\/wasn\u2019t he in the bunker ruling that came on 18, but they shouldn\u2019t. Instead, let\u2019s acknowledge this tournament for the pure shootout it turned into. This was theater at its absolute best and anyone who watched should feel lucky to have been tuned in to the show.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s remember that coming into Sunday\u2019s round the top of the leader board read with such names as Nick Watney, Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Martin Kaymer. That\u2019s probably a perfect cast of characters for the next PGA Tour \u201cWe Got Next\u201d commercial. Golf\u2019s young and bright future was on full display at this major championship.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday was epic as well. Another youngster, Bubba Watson bombed his driver all over Whistling Straits en route to a 68. Kaymer played steady golf and shot two-under. McIlroy kept it at level par for the day \u2013 which is good but not good enough on Sunday at a PGA Championship. Dustin Johnson birdied 16 and 17 to give himself a chance on 18 before the mysterious bunker (or was it ?) gobbled his ball.<\/p>\n<p>72 holes wasn\u2019t enough for this battle and Kaymer and Watson headed out for a three-hole duel to decide it. Maybe Johnson should have been in it, maybe not. But you can\u2019t diminish Kaymer\u2019s victory. One of the best young leader boards we\u2019ve seen eventually gave way to just one. Kaymer emerged standing with trophy in hand. It\u2019s arguably the most well-earned title of the 13.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Onward we trek through the greatest golfing performances of the last three years.
