Come on, the guy is 13-for-13 when leading going into the final round of a major. So really, is there a point to watching on Sunday? Let's just give him his 14th major. Well, not so fast. I'll tell you why it will be different. There's no doubt that Tiger played one of the most memorable rounds in history on Saturday. The world's No. 1 hobbled around the course on his surgically repaired knee looking like Paul Pierce in the first game of the NBA Finals, wincing after every drive, two eagles and a miracle chip in. It certainly was another chapter in his tremendous legacy. But if you really look at his round Saturday, Tiger didn't play very well. He missed eight of 14 fairways and was so wild with his drives that he overshot many of the rough areas hitting into to the gallery, which is actually allowed to go for greens. Then he found only 9 of 18 greens in regulation. Not what you expect from the person leading the U.S. Open. When asked about his result Saturday, he said, "It's all about getting the ball in the hole in as few shots as possible." Some would say great. Others would say lucky. foxsports.net 6/15/08
