SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- The chance to compete at the Olympics cant come sn enough for Martin Kaymer.While the top four players in the world and 21 men overall will not be part of the Rio Games, the 31-year-old German has been thinking about it all summer.Calling out Michael Phelps and fellow German Dirk Nowitzki and as some of the best Olympians he wants to see and meet, Kaymer sounds as though hes lking forward to going to Rio as much as his ongoing run at the PGA Championship.Rio isnt so much as distraction, rather a motivation.It is so, so, inspiring, and I really lk forward to go, experience that, and I dont know how I will feel, Kaymer said. Im sure its going to take a couple weeks after that to reflect on all your experiences.Going to Rio has inspired Kaymers latest hot streak. He shot a 4-under 66 in the opening round on Thursday and followed with a 69 in the second round to reach 5 under.The two-time major champion, birdied three of his last four holes Friday.I think I placed myself in a very gd spot, Kaymer said. Who knows where the leader is going to be by the end of the day. I shot a gd score yesterday, a very gd round today. So its a gd position to be in in a major championship.After his opening round on Thursday, Kaymer said he is lking forward to seeing the best athletes in their sports at the Olympics -- and not only the Germans.I watched Lionel Messi a couple times when Barcelona played against Bayern Munich and I went to the stadium, just to see the class, the natural talent of an athlete, is amazing, Kaymer said. You know, you can work as hard as you want but you are never going to get there.Kaymer said especially Phelps has an invitation to come watch him play at Rio.He can walk inside the ropes, Im sure, he said. That is just so great to watch them and just -- sometimes its funny how gd the athletes are. Because you compare yourself, how bad you are, because obviously you tried the sport, and I lk forward to that.Kaymer went into this week at No. 51 in the world ranking, having not won since 2014.Interestingly enough, its in the even-numbered years when Kaymer has played some of his best golf and 2016 is starting to lk up after two promising rounds at Baltusrol.Im more the kind of player who has some really nice highs in my career, and then I have some time to enjoy it again, Kaymer said. Then all of a sudden, you know, you create a little bit more inspiration from something, and then you play better again.In his first appearance of 2008, Kaymer won the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship and then added a win in his homeland at the BMW International Open.In 2010, Kaymer won his first major -- the PGA Championship -- after he won a three-hole playoff over Bubba Watson.One of Europes heroes in 2012, Kaymer made a 6-ft putt on the last hole at the Ryder Cup to defeat Steve Stricker and secure the last point needed to achieve a stunning comeback and retain the Ryder Cup.In 2014, Kaymer dominated at Pinehurst No. 2 for an eight-shot victory in the U.S. Open, one month after winning The Players Championship against the strongest and deepest field in golf. Kaymer joined Tiger Wds as the only players to win a U.S. Open, PGA Championship, Players Championship and WGC event before their 30th birthday.I think in general, you grow, not only as a golf player but as a person, as well, and through that success, through the two major wins that I had, I think you grow a lot more, Kaymer said. You take things a little bit more -- you value them a little bit more, and therefore, somehow it calms me down.After struggling in the first part of the 2016 season, Kaymer is headed into the weekend rounds at the PGA Championship back on the upswing.

The injury bothered Bledsoe in the Suns victory over the Clippers on Monday and he sat out the teams home loss to Memphis on Thursday night. Parramatta coach Brad Arthur has defended Semi Radradras form during the Eels loss to Cronulla.Radradra had arguably his quietest game of the NRL season in Saturdays 34-24 defeat to the Sharks at the end of a week in which he was charged with domestic violence offences.The 24-year-old also arrived back late from a trip to his native Fiji, fuelling speculation he was set to depart the NRL for European rugby.Arthur said the Australian Test wingers build-up to the game had nothing to do with his below-par performance, insisting Radradra had been unfairly singled out.I think its harsh to say he didnt have his best game, Arthur said.He still had 15-odd carries and ran for over 120 metres.Hes not going to make a line break and run the length of the field every week.We played against a side that are premiership favourites and coming fiirst, theyre a gd defensive side and they did a really gd job on him.ddddddddddddor the first time this season, Radradra failed to post a major attacking statistic - finishing with no tries, try assists, line breaks or tackle busts.This year, Radradra has been arguably the most damaging player in the competition, sitting in the top 10 for tries (10), line breaks (16), offloads (26) as well as averaging 152m.But Arthur said suggestions Radradras mind was not on the job or that a limited preparation had hindered him were off the mark.After every bye we give him a bit of time off, Arthur said.It was no different in Darwin - he had the one session going into a game and he was one of our best players.
