ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Ultimately, this one is on Tiger. Golf is a singular, selfish, sometimes lonely game, with a book of never-ending head-scratching rules and devoid of officials to monitor the action.
Golfers police themselves, and Tiger Woods thought he was doing just that on Friday. He later learned that he had made a mistake, one that cost him 2 shots, and cruelly, a chance to play and win the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship over the weekend.
