There’s another, softer, aspect to the fierce competitor who feels ill-prepared if he cannot practice enough to win a tournament. Defying death, he’s back at the tee box and hopes the week at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic would be a stirring one, going toe-to-toe with Tiger. “Yes, because I’m not going to hit balls like some of these guys out there.” Last week, Tiger watched Dustin Johnson’s tee shot carrying 340 yards. Happy to be back after three years, not much has changed at the Emirates Golf Club, barring the 18th. Tiger is hoping to get scoring from Thursday, but only after catching up on sleep.
