Kaymer received a congratulatory phone call from Bernhard Langer

The Dusseldorf, Germany, native had won the 2010 PGA Championship. He rang the outlet bell on the Nasdaq soon after that win at Whistling Straits. He'd done all the media in Nyc. When you are No. One out of the planet carried a different weight. It's the closest thing that golf has got to the Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion.

"To be No. 1 are a wide deal," Kaymer said. "You're the top golfer inside world."

Annually after his ascent to the peak around the globe ranking, that she held for 2 months, Kaymer has arrived Taylormade R11 fairway wood now at WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral, where his best finish would be a tie for third this season.

Like everyone in the golf world, he's got followed Rory McIlroy's incredible rise to No. 1 during the last a couple weeks. He's read the reports of McIlroy signaling a brand new era hanging around. But being a former No.1 along with the present No. 4-ranked player on earth, he has an original perspective for the challenges that McIlroy is facing with all the new level of fame, notoriety and pressure that accompany that lofty achievement.

"I hope that Rory are prepared for it inside a nice way for certain he'll be fine as long as he sticks to his priorities and continues taking care of a lot of things and not get distracted by things off the greens," said Kaymer, who was a teammate in the 22-year-old McIlroy on the victorious 2010 European Ryder Cup team. "He's modest and down to earth.

"He knows exactly what he really wants to do and exactly how he would like to be. So he's got strong Titleist AP2 710 Forged Irons character. He's a very brave player. He's the most effective player on the planet anf the husband deserves lots of."

Yet with so much parity right this moment on top of the ranking -- Luke Donald and Lee Westwood could both dominate No. One inch the planet when they win this week -- Kaymer is careful never to anoint McIlroy since the next Tiger Woods, a gamer who made a wide distance between discount golf clubs himself along with the remaining portion of the players throughout his 623 total weeks at No. 1.

"At the moment it is quite hard to separate yourself through the other players," Kaymer said. "There are four to five guys who play consistent every week. So there's no one that has really been outstanding. Rory has been great, but and so do Luke and Lee.

"You have countless good young players available online for now. Each week it's extremely tough to win a golf tournament since it is so tight. But when you peer at the top players, they practice so desperately. It's motivation and inspiration to suit your needs that you must work even harder. But there's never really a stop, so you keep working progressively difficult daily."
