Martin Kaymer is fully focused on the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, despite the last Major of the year being just around the corner.
The two-time Major Champion heads to Ohio in a rich vein of form having finished fourth at the Alstom Open de France before impressing at The Open Championship last month.
Kaymer is only concentrating on the event at Firestone Country Club, rather than thinking about next week's US PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, where he won the year's final Major in 2010.
He said: "It is a golf course that we all know. There are not many practice rounds necessary, but I think it is a little bit underrated in general.
"It's one of the best golf courses that we play all year. It is always in fantastic shape, which is almost what people always expect, but it is not normal. Every year we come, it is fantastic to play. Obviously, it is a great event.
"A lot of people are speaking about the PGA Championship already, the last major, but I think we should speak about this event here because this is quite nice to win.
"I have been playing a little bit better the last two, three tournaments I have played. I did not do that much practice the last couple of weeks because I think there are going to be a lot of tournaments for me coming up now.
"But I arrived here on Sunday, practised Monday, yesterday, and played a few holes today. So I should be okay for tomorrow."
Kaymer will tee off at 10:45 local time on Thursday with fellow Major Champion Adam Scott, who won this event in 2011.
With exactly one year to go before golf makes its return in the Olympics, Kaymer is looking forward to the Games, and insists he will give his all in an attempt to win gold.
He added: "I can remember when it was announced a couple of years back that we were going to be in the Olympic Games, and I was very, very happy about that.
"Obviously, it is only 12 months to go, but to win one of those (gold medals) is, for me personally - for some other players it is different, but for me - it is a big, big goal.
"It is difficult to explain because you do not know the emotions behind it, what it means to win one of those gold medals, but I can imagine coming back to your country winning one of the most important awards in the world, and being part of the big, big family of athletes who try to achieve the same must be incredible.
"Therefore, I am a big supporter of that idea. I am a big supporter of the Olympic Games in general. Therefore, I will try everything I can to win the first gold medal."
