Woods digs deep in Dubai drama

TIGER WOODS admitted his dramatic play-off win at the Dubai Desert Classic was more satisfying having been below his best throughout his final round.

The world number one had to "dig deep" to contend with an in-form Ernie Els and shot two birdies at the last two holes to take the tournament to a play-off.

Woods had not been playing well off the tee all day, but mid-round tweaks helped him recover some of his old poise in a nail-biting final few holes.
