So apparently Martin Kaymer is just like the rest of us – at least when flying.

About 24 hours after winning the biggest prize in golf, Kaymer was snapped sitting on the floor at an airport, cross-legged, scrolling through his iPhone.

You’d think with this newfound $1.8 million Kaymer could spring for a cordless phone charger. Or, at the very least, he could have used his Players trophy to wiggle his way into a club lounge.

Nope. The Players champion preferred the carpet. Good dude.
