This is why Tiger is simply the best, and everyone else – even once top players like Ernie Els – will never get it:
Tiger Woods capped his comeback in style.
He drained a 25-foot putt downhill, then he skipped backward and punched the desert air in celebration when it disappeared into the cup for a final birdie, giving him another win in his second tournament this year at the Dubai Desert Classic on Sunday,
“To go two-for-two, it’s a pretty good start, isn’t it?” Woods said.
Woods had trailed by four strokes to Ernie Els, a familiar victim. But he birdied his last two holes, and five of his last seven, for a 7-under 65 to start his season with two victories that looked nothing alike.
Contrast Tiger’s play with Ernie’s in the last round:
He started the final round with a one-shot lead over Henrik Stenson and was four shots clear of Woods. The 38-year-old South African missed par putts inside 5 feet on the 11th and 12th holes to lose the lead, but he still had a chance to force a playoff with a birdie on the par-5 18th. Instead, Els hit 5-wood that came up well short and ended up in the water.
He finished with a bogey for a 71 and tied for third with Louis Oosthuizen.
It was a devastating blow to Els, who stared at the ground as he walked toward the 18th green. He is in the middle of a three-year plan to overtake Woods at No. 1 in the world, and said at the start of his season that he needed to start winning.
Just another example of the greatness that is Tiger Woods, and why everyone else is just a pretender to his throne.
