After winning the Abu Dhabi Championship Martin Kaymer has moved up to  number 6 of the world rankings.

After winning his maiden title in Abu Dhabi in 2008 with a nervous four shot wire-to-wire victory, the 25 year old German needed every ounce of experience gained from adding three wins since to edge out Ian Poulter by a single stroke.

Overnight leader Kaymer, who also finished second last year, birdied the final hole at Abu Dhabi Golf Club to card a bogey free final round six under par 66.

“My goal for every year is to win two tournaments on The European Tour. I did it in 2008 and 2009 and I hope I can do it this year,” said Kaymer.

“I’ve been in contention a few times already in my career over the last three years,” added Kaymer. “My first win was difficult and my second win in Germany was very difficult. Now it has changed a little bit.

“My self confidence is bigger than two years ago and I think it has come from playing well all around the world. I played well in the last Major and I’m getting better in the World Golf Championships events."
