February 4, 2008

Today, the Dubai Dessert Classic ended with a stunning performance from American golfer Tiger Woods. The world’s number one sunk a 25 foot birdie putt on the last to edge home ahead of Ernie Els. The South African started the day with a one-stroke lead over defending champion Henrik Stenson.

Woods produced a grandstand finish to equal the best final round comeback win in the tournament’s history. By doing so, Woods won his fifth straight tournament.

Tiger Woods stays ahead

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.
