AUGUSTA, Georgia, April 7 (Reuters) – Martin Kaymer<\/a> trudged
\naway from the Masters a broken man on Thursday, beaten into
\nsubmission again by the Augusta National course he had so
\ndesperately wanted to conquer.<\/p>\n

The world number one was made to look like any weekend
\nhacker after shooting a six-over-par 78, his worst single round
\nin four appearances at the Masters.<\/p>\n

In each of his three previous trips to Augusta, Kaymer
\nfailed to make the cut and the German will need an amazing
\nturnaround on Friday to avoid making another early exit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s some golf courses that suit you and some they just
\ndon\u2019t,\u201d Kaymer told reporters. \u201cIt\u2019s obviously a huge
\ntournament here and if it doesn\u2019t really suit your eye \u2026 it\u2019s
\na little frustrating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaymer\u2019s performance left him feeling more deflated than
\nusual. He struggled in previous rounds at Augusta but embraced
\na radical strategy he hoped might end his wretched luck.<\/p>\n

Instead of honing his skills in the cut and thrust of a
\ncompetition, he took a two-week holiday with his family to
\nclear his mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to try something different again,\u201d he said. \u201cI
\ndon\u2019t know what I have to do here. Maybe one day it will work
\nout.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaymer, who won the U.S. PGA Championship in a playoff at
\nWhistling Straits last year and recently took over as the world
\nnumber one, said he was at a complete loss about how to play
\nthe course so was going to seek advice from compatriot Bernhard
\nLanger<\/a>, the 1985 and 1993 Masters champion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s not really a game plan,\u201d said Kaymer. \u201cI think that
\nI don\u2019t really know how to play the golf course.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that maybe I\u2019ve got to sit down with Bernhard
\nLanger later and ask him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s won here twice and I think I can only get good advice
\nfrom him.\u201d
