There will be time, lots of it, for Tiger Woods, who on Thursday shot a 65, the best round ever at a U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. He is the prodigy, the virtuoso, the king, so good he could quibble with the way his putts were dropping lately.
Mortals are satisfied with putts that go in.
For Tiger Woods, putts must go in a certain way. There will be time to talk about Tiger. If he is generous, he will allow other players to challenge him over the weekend. Today is for Bobby Clampett, who didn't figure to challenge anyone on the PGA Tour, ever again. There are hopes and there are dreams, and there are errant wishes as tangible as the fog that rolls in across the 18th fairway here from Stillwater Cove.
