I told you that thing about Tiger wearing red on Sundays ...: Oh god, now you're going to start stating the obvious. Why don't you state what's really obvious about Dubai this year?
What's that?: That it was an absolutely cracking finish.
I'll have to agree with you there ...: It was almost like some world order got restored or something like that. The world No. 1 played like it on the final day.
Shall we go through Tiger's card then, if we must?: We must. First of all, Tiger shot bookend 65s. He looked like he was going to dominate on the first day, then after two average rounds, he looked like he was dead in the water. He started the final round four shots back of Ernie Els.
And then what happened?: Well, Tiger didn't give up, like he never does. He started off on fire, but a bogey at the 9th hole looked like it finished his run ...
But then, as they say, "Tiger made the turn" ...: Is that what they say? Anyway, yes, so he did. Tiger fired in birdies on 10, 12, 13 and 14, and then his putter caught fire.
His putter caught fire after the four-birdie run?: Yeah. On 17 he drained a seemingly unmakeable birdie putt from the fringe. And on the 18th, he drained a 20-foot left-to-right downhiller that found the middle of the cup to give him the clubhouse lead.
And then everyone faded ...: That's right. Ernie Els had the last chance at him, but in almost a deja vu of what happened at Leopard Creek, Els needed a birdie on 18 to tie Tiger, but doinked his approach into the water.
Fantastic stuff. And Martin Kaymer proved he belongs in the big leagues ...: He sure did. The 23-year-old Düsseldorfer showed he's the best player in his age bracket by closing with a sparkling 66, which might have been good enough to win had it not been for ...
The guy who wears red on Sundays?: That's right, Cliche Boy.
Cracking tournament though, wasn't it?: Cracking. See you in India ...
But not Tiger, unfortunately ...
