Woods goes cold at Dubai
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -
Tiger Woods has lost before, but
he’s never blown a pro tournament
the way he did Sunday.
Tied for the lead with Thomas
Bjorn, Woods found trouble off the
tee of the final hole of the Dubai
Desert Classic, then splashed his
third shot in front of the green to
take a double-bogey 7 and remain
winless this season.
It was only the fourth time
Woods has failed to win after start
ing the final round in front, and he
never had such a final-hole col
lapse as a pro.
Bjorn, who caught Woods with a
birdie on No. 17, finished at 22-un
der 266 for a two-stroke victory,
and joined a short but lengthening
line of players who’ve beaten
Woods down the stretch.
The American is still the world’s
best, but he doesn’t intimidate like
he did a year ago, and he’s 0-for-6
this season.
“The intimidation is disappear
ing,” Bjorn said. “People are now
starting to realize you can’t get in
timidated by him. You have to beat
him.
“Tiger’s got to learn to lose. Jack
Nicklaus won a whole lot of ma
jors, but he finished second a
whole lot of times. Tiger’s got to
learn to lose. That’s just the way
golf is. I’m sure he knows that.”
Bjorn finished with a three-putt
par to cap a 3-under 69. Woods
shot a 72 to finish tied for second
with Padraig Harrington, who had
a final-round 69. Ian Woosnam
(69) and Mathias Gronberg (68)
were another two shots back.
Woods held a one-stroke lead
over Bjorn to begin the day. Har
rington overtook him at No. 9, but
Woods moved back in front with
three birdies in five holes to go to
22-under through 13.
Bjorn eagled the 10th with a 20
foot putt and birdied the 13th to
reach 21-under. Woods missed
birdie chances on Nos. 14, 15 and
17, and Bjorn dropped an 8-foot
putt to draw even.
At the 547-yard 18th, Bjorn put
his drive into the fairway before
Woods left his wide to the right,
behind clumps of brush and low
hanging tree branches. He bailed
out of the bramble with an 8-iron
but knocked it across the fairway
into thick rough. From 150 yards
out and worried about running off
the back of the green, Woods’
touch with a 9-iron was too gentle.
Splash - just inches short of dry
land.
“From the rough, I actually hit a
pretty good shot, but I was protect
ing against the flier,” Wood said.
Bjorn made the green in two,
then three-putted for the victory
and $500,000 first prize, a quarter
of the $2 million appearance
Woods received. The former Ryder
Cup player said Woods’ tee shot on
No. 18 was the key.
“I don’t know where that shot
came from, but all of a sudden a
bad one came. It’s down to my
credit that I put the pressure on,”
he said. “This is the best perform
ance of my life by far. I’ve won
plenty of golf tournaments. I
played in the Ryder Cup and came
back from four down after four, but
this is the performance of my life.
“The world’s greatest player was
here and I took him on head to head.”
Woods’ last U.S. Tour victory
came in September in the Canadi
an Open, although he’s won three
non-tour events since then in
Hawaii, Thailand and Argentina.
“A lot of people are talking
about Tiger being in a slump and
he’s not doing the right things,”
Bjorn said. “That’s way out of pro
portion. The guy is playing fantas
tic golf. He just hasn’t won in the
last couple of weeks.”
The wind kicked up Sunday af
ter three days of still desert golf at
the Emirates Golf Club. Woods bo
geyed the opening hole when his
putt lipped out from 4 feet, which
is the kind of putting day he had.
“I’m quite proud of what I did
this week,” Bjorn said. “To go out
there and play with the guy for
four days and then beat him is
everybody's dream.”
Bjorn more or less choked play
ing with Woods in the third round
of the U.S. Open in Pebble Beach
last June. Woods cracked the fierce
winds and hard greens and shot a
splendid even-par 71. Bjorn sim
ply cracked and shot 82.
“I take a lot home from this,”
Bjorn said. “He’s a great guy, I en
joy his friendship. He’s the greatest
sportsman in the whole world, but
that just makes it a little more
sweet.”
“I know I can go out with that
guy and I can look him in the eye
and take him on. It doesn’t make
him anything else but the greatest
player in the world. He’s by far bet
ter than anybody else. Don't forget
that.
“But he is going to lose tourna
ments.”
