Because Tiger Woods is so dominant, we tend to look for chinks in his armor. Despite what his swooning fans say, there is a big one.

The guy absolutely cannot come from behind. He's 0-for-everything when he starts Sunday behind in a major.

He looked different yesterday at the finale of the U.S. Open at Oakmont. Dare I say it? He looked unsure of himself. He looked hesitant. He even looked a little scared.

I'll put it like this. Picture Woods in a science fiction movie. He'd be the evil corporation that rules the world, sort of like Microsoft. All the downtrodden minions are at his mercy. He can banish them with a casual gesture. He is the Supreme Ruler who no one questions.

But, a small band of rebels wants to set the world free, and they think they see a small, ever so tiny weakness. For the rest of the movie, they fight against overwhelming odds, and at the end they triumph, and El Tigre falls. The world is free again.

That's sort of Tiger's image. Yesterday, he looked like the Supreme Ruler right when he realizes the rebels are going to take him down.

He's unbeatable with a lead, but without it, he's vulnerable. Zach Johnson at The Masters and now Angel Cabrera at the U.S. Open.

He'll never have that hard-charging image, like an Arnold Palmer. He'll never fully capture the public's imagination in that sense.

Let it be known now and forever: The Supreme Ruler can be beaten! Aim your lasers at his weakness!
