SAN DIEGO – Saturday at Torrey Pines didn’t quite match the theatrics of the 2008 U.S. Open, but the third-round action here still produced some mouthwatering storylines.
OK, so it’s not the ’08 edition, when Tiger Woods was hobbling around on one leg while staked to a 54-hole lead, with Europe’s finest player, Lee Westwood, a shot back and everyman Rocco Mediate looking to play the role of spoiler.
But this one ain’t bad, either.
Here are the five best storylines heading into a Sunday that, with three tied for the lead and 14 players separated by four shots, should produce plenty of drama:
