Tiger’s Trek to the Top!

Tiger Woods may not have won this past weekend at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, finishing two strokes behind winner Robert Rock after leading the field heading into the final round.

While a 54-hole lead for Tiger was once considered money in the bank, no one that witnessed last weekend’s event doubts that Tiger is well on his way back toward the top of the golf universe.

Hell, even Rock, who won for just the second time in his European Tour career, was mostly surprised to have beaten Woods – and second place finisher Rory McIlroy.

"It's pretty hard to believe that I managed to win," Rock said. "I'm very surprised. It's difficult playing with Tiger. You expect almost every shot to threaten to go in. There was a lot of pressure and I couldn't afford any lapses in concentration at all. It was hard work, but I'm very happy now."
