Tiger Woods did not win this weekend in the Dubai Desert Classic, but said that he is gaining momentum.

Woods had a chance to take the lead, starting off Sunday one stroke away from the lead. However, at the end of the day, he tied for 20th.

Woods hasn’t won a tournament in 15 months. He captured the Dubai tournament in 2006 and 2008.

“Yeah, very frustrating,” Woods said, according to PGA.com. “I got off to such a poor start, I was two over through three early and just couldn’t make it up from there.”

Woods, a 35-year-old American, ended with a 3-over 74, leaving him 4 under for the whole tournament.

Alvaro Quiros of Spain won the tournament. Woods was seven shots behind him.

“I feel like I can still win golf tournaments,” Woods said, according to PGA. “I’m not that old. I’ve still got some years ahead of me.”
