Woods flops as Quiros aces his way to Dubai victory


(CNN) -- Spain's Alvaro Quiros carded a hole-in-one on the way to a remarkable victory in the Dubai Desert Classic as Tiger Woods and a host of big-name contenders fell away in Sunday's final round.
The 28-year-old from Cadiz clinched the most notable victory of his career with a four-under 68 which included a eagle-two at the second, a triple bogey seven on the eighth and tellingly an ace on the 11th.

But Woods, who started the day in a seven-way tie for fourth, one shot behind leaders Rory McIlroy and Thomas Aiken, slumped to a three-over 75.
