Wasn't the Abu Dhabi tournament played Jan 17-20?
2008 Dubai Desert Classic
Jan 31-Feb 3
Emirates Golf Course
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Defending: Henrik Stenson
Is this the tournament you refer?
The only time a US Open was held on a public course was a few years ago at Bethpage Black. Torrey Pines will be the second.
Even Tiger had to smile on that one.
Routine birdie on the par 5 13th to go -21. He’s lapping the field.
Unfortunately, I have to run out for dinner but I’ll check back later in the evening. Looks like Tiger will tie Arnold Palmer for most career wins.
Who would you rather be for a day...?
24hrs as Tiger Woods...
OR
24 Hours as Hugh Hefner?
No question...Tiger Woods, broads come and go, but GOLF...now there’s a challenge!!
Going to be a long season for everyone else, and Tiger will own more cars than a police department!
Phil Mickelson, in good shape? What are they smoking?? He certainly isn’t going to give tiger a run for the money, especially when you are 50/50 from 4 feet. We’re going to hear about his “respitory illness” longer than we care to.
They need something to fall back to when Lefty starts spraying tee balls everywhere except on the fairway. I know Phil’s short game is impecable, but unless your name is Tiger, you can’t resort to it constantly.
Welcome to 2008, another walk in the park for Tiger.
There are only 34 Rules Of Golf.

Those are 3rd round scores, Z! If I were Ernie, be careful not to look over your shoulder, because Tiger is always lurking!
The last couple of weeks have seen some of the coldest weather in history in that part of the world. The snow in Baghdad a few weeks ago was the start.
Watching Kraft kissing arse in the tower. What did they say, maybe 200,000 in the gallery today! WOW!
Oooops, you are right. They are 3rd round scores. Tomorrow’s finish is at 8:30am on the Golf Channel. Good catch, c_gop.
No prob! That scene on 16 is surreal! How do that many people stay quiet so that shots can be played is beyond me
Lefty could be much closer, if not for those wayward drives.
I believe the announcer said there were like 65K people on 16. They Love Phil, tho.
Ernie -13 through 9
Tiger -10 through 12.
Watching the REPLAY on glof channel now...oh, the angst of it all!
