World Of Golf Braces For Rock Pun Onslaught
/Bob Harig spares us in his game story on Robert Rock's impressive Abu Dhabi win over Woods and McIlroy. Here's a post round interview with Tiger, who unfortunately did not win, meaning we'll have at least another two weeks of questions asking, "is he back?"

No wonder fans were loudly humming the theme from the movie "Rocky" at the conclusion of the $2.7 million Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship.
Golf journeyman Robert Rock had just taken down golf’s Apollo Creed.
Against all the odds, Rock played Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa to Tiger Woods’ Apollo Creed and won by a majority decision in the 15th round. Rock closed with 2-under 70 to Woods’ even-par 72 to earn the victory and the first-place check of nearly $460,000.
