Five in a Row for Woods
He was in Dubai per usual for the tournament there. He was down after three rounds. Four shots. He looked buried at the turn.
Then he birdied five of the last seven holes to finish at -14 and watched as Ernie Els wilted under the charge.
Needing a birdie on the par-5 18th to force a playoff, Els hit his tee shot into the water and made bogey.
Ouch. I think I will go ahead and slide Els into the he's-Tiger's-mental-bitch category for the rest of 2008. And no, fatherhood doesn't seem to have slowed down Woods at all.
