Dubai Latest Tiger Conquest

Hello. Congrats to Tiger Woods for winning at Dubai. After spotting Ernie Els a 54 hole 4-shot lead, Tiger shot 65 the final day for the victory.
What does this say about Tiger? He's the favourite on both Euro and PGA Tours. I thought the Euros would give him a challenge. Relative to Torrey Pines, they did. But they are still a notch below Woods. And I don't see that changing this year.
What does this say about Els? To blow a big lead at a course you love is a sign you're not ready to challenge. I don't expect Ernie to get any closer this year to Tiger.
I'm now completely convinced Tiger has found a different way to golf. It's better than what is taught at the NCAA or any other level. And since Tiger is still improving, the others will have to make quantum leaps to catch up.
Unfortunately for those players, it's not going to happen this year. Phil Mickelson could've made a statement in Phoenix, but lost in a playoff to J.B. Holmes (congrats by the way). And that's the difference - Tiger takes advantage where others don't.
Continued success in 2008 Tiger!

Regards,
Steve
