Tiger Woods dominated again on day 2 of the Dubai Dessert Classic, maintaining the lead at eight under par. The American golfer struggled with what may be considered to be one of the most challenging conditions, desert shamal winds. Woods came out on top, just ahead of Ireland’s runner up Damien McGrane (seven under par) and Henrik Stensson (six under par).
Tommorow’s forecast is one of continued sand and dusty storms over the Emirates Golf Club.
