Woods becomes a father

Tiger Woods has become a father for the first time less than 24 hours after narrowly missing out on the US Open.

The world number one's wife Elin gave birth to a baby girl, Sam Alexis Woods, early on Monday morning.

"Elin and I are delighted to announce the birth of our daughter, Sam Alexis Woods," said Woods in a statement on his official website. "This is truly a special time in our lives and we look forward to introducing Sam to our family and friends over the next few weeks."

Woods finished second in a major for the second time this year as Argentina's Angel Cabrera captured the US Open on Sunday.
