Having lost his battle with cancer in 2002, Justin Rose’s father was not there to see his son win his first major on Father’s Day. But when Rose pointed to the sky after holing out for par on the 18th at Merion, everyone knew whom he was pointing to. “My dad was the inspiration the whole day,” he said.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – This won’t come as much of a surprise, but Tiger Woods let the cat out of the bag when it comes to his first start in 2014.

Asked whether he’ll take a measure of confidence into next year, Woods responded, “Well, I’ve done well at Torrey Pines. I’ve done pretty good. That’s my first tournament back.”

Woods is the defending champion at the Farmers Insurance Open, winning for a seventh time. He also claimed the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.

But the question remained: Is there any doubt going into the new year?

“Of course there is,” he replied. “I mean, I’ve come off of long breaks. I’ve come off of surgeries, you know, whatever it may be. I’ve had my share of off seasons, and I can tell you one thing, I’m looking forward to this one.”
