UNIVERSITY PLACE, Washington, June 16 (Reuters) - Martin Kaymer will defend his U.S. Open title this week at Chambers Bay but is happy for players such as Masters champion Jordan Spieth and world number one Rory McIlroy to command the spotlight.
Germany's Kaymer confirmed his status as one of the game's very best by coasting to his second major victory, by eight shots in last year's U.S. Open at Pinehurst, though he has since failed to replicate that commanding form.
"A lot of times I'm under the radar, I feel like, which is fine," Kaymer told reporters on Tuesday while preparing for Thursday's opening round.
