“If you see the other athletes, how much work that they put into this week, and the love that they have for their sport, it’s a completely different approach of playing your sport right now,” he said Wednesday at the Olympic Golf Course. “You gain so much respect for the other athletes and you see your sport a little bit different, too.”

Kaymer said he’s using his Olympic experience to examine the way he prepares to play his own game, and that’s before he’s even hit a competitive shot.

“I don’t know how different yet, because it will take a couple weeks to realize what really happened here, but it’s so far already the greatest week of my career,” he said.
