More than a year after his come-from-behind victory, the German was up to his old tricks in Shanghai, China, coming …

But don’t expect him to sulk about it.Don’t expect him to read a rules sheet, either.

Martin Kaymer had a great year in 2010. Not only did the native of Dusseldorf, Germany, win the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, defeating Bubba Watson in a three-hole playoff, but he had four wins on the European Tour.
