"I had a jumpy 7-iron lie and it caught a break, killed it in the top of the bunker and bobbled on to the green. I was waiting for a break all day and to get it on the last was great timing.

"I felt more pressure as I was throwing it away, but when I got back to knowing what I had to do I clicked into gear in the nick of time.

"We're all delighted for Tiger, this is crazy scenes and I'm sure I'm not the most popular guy for making birdie on the last but hey, he's got enough money."

Woods may be grabbing the headlines with his resurgence, but Rose can rest assured that his wife and family are happy after his FedEx Cup victory.
