    PGA champion Martin Kaymer has won the European Tour money title, after his only challenger Graeme McDowell fell short at the season-ending Dubai World Championship.

    Kaymer and McDowell both finished in a tie for 13th with 6-under totals of 282, but the Northern Irishman needed to place in the top three to have a chance to overtake the German. His 4-under 68 was not enough, and Kaymer, who finished with a 72, clinched the title while still on the course.

    Kaymer follows in the footsteps of Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Ernie Els, Colin Montgomerie and Bernhard Langer by ending the season as the European Tour's No. 1.

    "It's been a fantastic year," Kaymer said. "All of the goals that I set for myself, for my career, everything happened this year. To win the Race to Dubai, No. 1, and to play the Ryder Cup and to win a major."
