DUBAI: The battle for world golf supremacy will be contested at the Dubai Desert Classic this week with the top three in the rankings - Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer and Tiger Woods - in the same group for the first two rounds. It is a rare sight to see the planet’s leading trio playing together competitively and it will make for compelling viewing on Thursday and Friday. Top draw Woods cannot regain his world number one spot from Lee Westwood, who ended his 281-week long reign on October 31, although a win could put him back above Kaymer into second spot. The young German prodigy, who won his first Major at the USPGA last August, harbours hopes of emulating Bernhard Langer as a German world number one if he wins and Westwood finishes lower than second.
