First of all I don't think the US Open is the most difficult to win. I think that honour goes to either the British Open or The Masters.

The Open, because it is usually terrible conditions, the Masters because it is more prestigious and seems to bring out the best in golfers.

Second saying Tiger did it on one leg is kind of bull. Pretty sure guys in every other major sport (cept maybe baseball because its for wusses) has Championships won by key players with WAY more severe injuries than Tigers.

To me the fact that it made the top ten at all isn't right. Only reason it is on that list at all is because it was Tiger. Any other golfer accomplishes that feat and nobody would even care.

Don't get me wrong I cheer for Tiger every weekend he plays because I love to see him dominate but in a wussy sport like golf a guy getting a blister is enough to end most guys weekends so playing with a bum knee is like goaltending your team to the SCF with two broken legs and a concussion.
