By Alex Myers
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- With his win at the Players, Martin Kaymer took home a beautiful crystal trophy and $1.8 million. But he wasn't the only person who had a great week at TPC Sawgrass. Here are seven others who enjoyed their time at the event:
__ 1. This guy__, who got Jordan Spieth to sign a glove he was wearing. We just hope he let the little boy next to him get an autograph, too.

__ 2. These guys__, who watched the pros while enjoying beers on the cool high tables by the practice green. Of course, they didn't look too thrilled with me taking a picture of them. . .
