1. Bernhard Langer is probably the most well-known German golfer. He managed two major victories in his career: which two? (This is for his active career, not the senior tour).

4. Even more than for his time at the top of the world leaderboard, Kaymer will certainly be remembered for one single putt, made on September 30, 2012. Which victory did Kaymer seal with this putt?
5. Playing on the US-based PGA tour instead of the European Tour since 2003, Alexander Cejka is also one of Germany's long-time golf professionals, although not as successful as Langer and Kaymer. He was, however, not born in Germany. What's his nationality of birth?

10. This lady golfer first made an impact on the scene when she became Germany's Lady amateur golfer of the year in 2003.
