After beating Lee Westwood in a play-off for the French Open the 24-year-old came from behind on the final day again to defeat Raphael Jacquelin and overnight leader Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano by two. Having earned over £1million in a week he now is not only second to Paul Casey on the European money list, but also just outside the world's top 10 heading into the Open at Turnberry.

He said: "The money is nice, but it's not the most important thing. If you are out there playing for the money I think you have chosen the wrong job."

"To win at the home of golf is always something very special," he added.

Kaymer, who began his run of form in Paris last week with a course record 62, needed 'only' a two-under-par 69 after starting the day a stroke behind Fernandez-Castano.

The gap doubled when he bogeyed the 455-yard second, but once he had birdied three of the next six holes he had top spot and never let go.

He added: "I missed the cut the week after my first two wins, but this week was obviously different.

"Now everybody asks me about a third win in a row, but we are playing in a major and the field is going to be the best we have all year.

Jacquelin came through to be joint runner-up with a 66 and Australian Adam Scott matched that best-of-the-day effort to take a share of fourth with Dane Soren Kjeldsen.

Disappointing on the final day were both Lee Westwood and Retief Goosen. Westwood had oozed confidence after middle rounds of 66 and 64, but closed with a level-par 71 for eighth spot along with fellow Englishman Ross Fisher.
