Kaymer and Lampert compete in Solheim Cup charity line-up

US Open Champion Martin Kaymer and his fellow European Tour player Moritz Lampert joined forces with Solheim Cup captains Carin Koch and Juli Inkster for the Year 2 Go celebrations in the scenic town of Heidelburg, Germany, to mark the countdown to The 2015 Solheim Cup at European Tour Destination Golf Club St. Leon-Rot.

Commencing with the “Golden Shot” from Heidelberg’s Old Bridge and rounding off with a Charity Show Match at Golf Club St. Leon Rot featuring Kaymer, Lampert, the European Solheim Cup Captain Carin Koch and United States Captain Juli Inkster, the event’s activities looked set to raise more than €300,000 for official charities.

The golf stars were joined on the bridge by sporting legends Franz Beckenbauer and Steffi Graf, both taking aim at the water target with football and tennis ball respectively, and later the attending galleries of sponsors and children also had a go. The beautiful Heidelberg castle was the setting for the evening’s Gala Dinner and “Big Auction”, followed the next morning by a host of fundraising challenges. Lampert raised €25,000 with his first attempt at the 100-metre balloon shot.

The afternoon’s Charity Show Match over the links-style St.Leon course saw the professionals take part in a series of special shot challenges, with each raising additional funds for the charity initiative.
