Woods’ win down to ‘experience’

A RELIEVED Tiger Woods believes his play-off experience made the difference against Ernie Els at the end of a nail-biting Dubai Desert Classic.

The world number one claimed his first victory in the Emirates at the third attempt after forcing a sudden-death head-to-head at the 18th with two birdies in his last two holes.

Nerves appeared to beset Els when he drove into the trees and then found the water with his next shot, leaving Woods needing just a par to win.
