If you play, cover, help run or have ever thought about golf, you must have a Tiger Woods take. Martin Kaymer offered his up on Wednesday at the Honda Classic.
"He's not a machine," said Kaymer. "He's not a robot. It's what I said; he's a human, as well, and I think we should never forget that and we should give him a little bit of space, as well. We all want him to play as good as we can."
Yada, yada, yada.
The funny part is that Kaymer might in fact be a robot. If the oiled-up arms and 100-shot win at the 2014 US Open aren't enough evidence, how about this quote from Rory McIlroy.
McIlroy was facing a robot on the range in one of the best YouTube clips of the last few years and the robot noted "losing to a robot is a bit like losing to Martin Kaymer."
McIlroy laughed, "I've lost to him a few times before."
