Kaymer in Faldo frame for Ryder Cup spot after superb round in Munich

Nick Faldo may have to utilise a younger generation of golfer in this year's Ryder Cup against the Americans, judging by events in Munich yesterday.

Leader: Martin Kaymer

Joint second last night were Kent's Benn Barham after a second-round 68 and France's Francois Delamontagne, who shot 66..
