What an incredible week of
Mizuno MP-59 Iron Set
it was at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship! There was drama till the very last hole before a new champion was crowned in the form of the unflappable Robert Rock — perhaps unheralded, but completely deserving of all the accolades coming his way for beating some of the finest names in the game.
I thought it was a very impressive show by Rock, especially considering the kind of pressure he must be feeling during the round. It is not easy to play with Tiger Woods, and that has got nothing to do with Woods\' personality or reputation. I have played with him on several occasions and I can vouch for

that Tiger actually goes out of his way to make you comfortable. What can be intimidating is the number of spectators and cameras following the group.
The key to having a good round when playing with someone like Tiger, or Phil Mickelson in certain parts of the US, is to get off to a good start. The tee shot on the first hole is going to set up the tone for the rest of the round, and that is what Rock did well on Sunday. And when Tiger made early birdies on the second and third holes, the Englishman did the same and kept up with him.
What I really like about Rock is that he is a very relaxed character. He loves living a good life, and he always seems to be enjoying his

. And I always thought he had a very solid short game. Those are traits which should help him win several more such titles in the future.
