(CNN) -- Millions of golf fans around the world were watching on television with great anticipation. The 18th-green gallery at Medinah Country Club was packed as a remarkable sporting story was about to be concluded. All Martin Kaymer could think about was getting his phone out and capturing the moment. "I looked around and thought, 'How nice is that,' to see the big leaderboard and then see the screen which says 'Kaymer to retain the Ryder Cup,' " he tells CNN's Living Golf show. "I would have loved to take out my iPhone and take a picture of it." The German stood over a seven-foot putt to win the 2012 Ryder Cup for Europe, which had stunned the U.S. team by making up a four-point deficit on the final day.
