Martin Kaymer is targeting victory at the Open Championship next month after winning golf's US Open.

The German won by eight shots at Pinehurst, ahead of Americans Rickie Fowler and Erik Compton.

He dominated the event, leading from start to finish to become the first German winner of that major.

"I had belief. I knew it would happen so therefore, it's not that surprising playing good golf. It's surprising I won such big tournaments. That's the surprise," said Kaymer.
