Top Two Stories to enjoy this year

We take a look at five of the biggest stories the golfing world will be watching unfold in 2011.
Martin Kaymer
The 26-year-old from Germany more than reported his presence on the world stage in 2010. His first major success came at the US PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, he was part of a successful Ryder Cup for Europe, another big success came at the Dunhill Links at St. Andrews, and to top it all off he claimed the Race to Dubai money list title.
The difficult task for Kaymer now will be building on this remarkable success, though on present form it will be a challenge he will be more than equal to. At this point, he will also be a key player in the race for the world No. 1 ranking, which is set to well and truly resume in the new year.
Kaymer isn't allowing himself to get too carried away yet, though. Other than wanting another successful year in Europe, the only goal for 2011 he's allowed himself to elaborate on is his desire to finally card a hole-in-one.
Graeme McDowell
Like Kaymer, 2010 is a year that Graeme McDowell won't soon forget. The 31-year-old from Northern Ireland established his first major championship, the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, back in July. It was the first time in 40 years that a European golf player had managed this feat.
Just like that wasn't enough of an victory, less than three months later Mcdowell was enjoying another moment he will remember for the rest of his life, clinching the Ryder Cup win for Europe in remarkable fashion against Hunter Mahan.
These days, McDowell piped Tiger Woods to the post at the Chevron World Challenge, holing long putts at the 72nd and first play-off holes. A win for Woods would have meant the world to the former World No.1, and added some shine to an otherwise horror year, but McDowell clearly hadn't read the program.
McDowell was awarded an MBE in recognition of his fantastic accomplishments in 2010, which also included two more wins on the European Tour in June and October.
