Woods calm about form

World golf number one Tiger Woods has shrugged off concerns that his Torrey Pines nightmare might follow him to the Middle East for this weekend's Dubai Desert Classic.

Last weekend in San Diego, Woods failed to make the play on the final day after shooting a 79, the second-worst round of his professional career.

Woods has good memories of the Arab city-state, claiming the Dubai Desert Classic in 2006 and 2008, and the American hopes the adjustments he has made since last weekend will help him at the Emirates Golf Club.
