DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- The outspoken Ian Poulter caused a stir on the eve of the Dubai Desert Classic by saying he was the only player capable of challenging the supremacy of world No. 1 Tiger Woods. "The trouble is I don't rate anyone else," the 32-year-old Briton was quoted as saying in the March issue of the United Kingdom version of Golf World magazine. "Don't get me wrong, I ...
Ian Poulter Is A Funny Guy
waggleroom.com 1/30/2008 — Of course, we already knew that because of the way he dresses. But in Dubai for the Dubai Desert Classic, Poulter said there's only one player capable of challenging Tiger Woods for golf supremacy. And that player is ... Ian Poulter. "Don't get me wrong, I really respect every professional golfer, but I know I haven't played to my full potential and when that happens, it will be just me and ...
Golf in the Gulf - Eye on Dubai
thegolfgirl.blogspot.com 1/29/2008 — Tiger's there already. He flew out last night after his awesome win at the Buick Invitational. By now he's probably checking out progress on his fabulous Arabian Gulf golf complex, Tiger Woods Dubai , set to open in the 4th quarter of 2009. I'm sure he's also eagerly anticipating the start of Dubai Desert Classic week which kicks off tomorrow.

Is it just me, or do both part of this story seem familiar: Tiger Woods scored six birdies on the back nine en route to a 65 and won the Dubai Desert Classic by one stroke. Ernie Els, needing a birdie on the last hole to tie, found water instead. Woods won Dubai by a stroke over Martin Kaymer, who finished birdie-birdie-eagle (oh, if only Ernie could have done that ...).

Is there a football game on? I keep hearing rumors. Great day of golf today.

The Big Lead
As I documented yesterday , Tiger was tied for 5th place after a disappointing 3rd round a Dubai.
Of course he came storming back like a golfer possessed. He shot a 7-under 65 today including 5 birdies on the last 7 holes. Ernie Els had a chance to force a playoff, but put his tee shot in the water on 18.
Tiger may have been chuckling quietly as Els bogeyed the final hole. From The Golf ...

If I am later than usual it’s because I have only just recovered from Tiger’s blistering recovery to win the Dubai Classic. Six birdies on the back nine left Ernie Els crumbling in his wake. It’s barely credible.
What is even less credible, though, is that something similar will happen at Scottsdale later in the day. You have to go back to the year 2000 to find anyone ...

It’s hard to get Tiger Woods to speak out on social issues. I’m not saying he needs to become Muhammad Ali, or even Etan Thomas, but a socially conscious opinion or two from one of the world’s most recognizable athletes isn’t asking for much. It’s not important that he speaks on every Don Imus or Jena 6 situation. However, I would expect him to have some ...
