Tiger Woods didn't fire off his best round Monday at the 2009 US Open, but he didn't shoot poorly either, wrapping up with a 69 that left him at even par for the tournament. Unfortunately for Tiger, a three-bogey/four-birdie round probably won't be enough to land him in any potential playoff for consecutive Open titles.That's not to say that the leaders aren't falling back -- Phil Mickelson, David Duval, Ross Fisher and Lucas Glover aren't up a substantial margin on Tiger, but at this point, it seems pretty unlikely that Woods will have a shot at any playoff that takes place.
The thing, though, is that Tiger wasn't horrible during this Open (obviously) and you have to feel that the weather really played a major role in his inability to distinguish himself from the rest of the field; the conditions that permeated Bethpage allowed someone like Ricky Barnes to really push ahead from the field and created a different sort of Open field.
Additionally, the weather took away Tiger's "typical Sunday" -- he could still make a charge, obviously, but there was something odd about seeing him in red on a day when the tournament wasn't closing. In the end, though, too many bogeys during his final round -- and possibly even more importantly, a poor finish to his first round that left him four-over after the first round of play -- cost him a shot to repeat at Bethpage and in the Open championship.
