11:05 AM ET 10.17 | Who is Martin Kaymer? Even in his native Germany few people had heard of him before he won his first major, the US PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in August. That whetted the nation's appetite for a new sporting hero, and the German media have turned their attention to the man they call a giant. Golf is making the front pages of the major newspapers for the first time in years. "At the beginning of this year no one had heard of him," says Henning Feindt, sports writer for Bild, Germany's biggest selling newspaper. "But after he won the PGA Championship and then, even more, the Ryder Cup, we began to take an interest in him. Normally we don't write anything about golf in our paper, it's all soccer and Formula One. But with Kaymer it's like a star has risen, a new sports hero for Germany. We call him Golf Gigante ??? golf giant."
