Along that line of thinking, I found it interesting looking at Webb's tour stats up to the US Open. They were actually pretty bad: Total Driving 151, scrambling 156, sand saves 139, ball striking 75, but scoring 18th. He obviously turned it around enough to win.
Obviously, Tiger played much worse versus his stats at the US Open. He has stated before, it is a progression with him, doesn't seem to just click at once, and majors need a higher level of confidence. It goes like: he has two good rounds, then three rounds, then competing on Sunday. He still has time to turn it around this year at the open and pga.
