Ernie Els loses to Tiger Woods' mojo.: Tiger skipped this past weekend's Dubai Desert Classic, fearing for his safety (I wish I could refuse $2 million to play golf). The first alternate, some "unheralded Dutchman", gets in and wins the durn thing, beating World #2 Els.
The beauty of golf. On any given day, any player can win any tournament that Tiger isn't playing in.

He was in tears as he left the 18th green, even though Els still had a chance to catch him. ...and not even ranked in the top 3000. Great story.
