LEMONT, Ill. (AP) - The massive gallery chasing Tiger Woods around Cog Hill included his wife, Elin, who was on the golf course for the first time since giving birth to their daughter. It was a sign they are settling back into a routine, even if Woods never got out of one.

He’s still winning.
For those wondering how fatherhood might affect him, Woods is 56 under par in the six tournaments he has played since Sam Alexis was born a day after the U.S. Open. That includes three victories, one of them a major, and another milestone.
Woods doesn’t keep track of the numbers, so he was mildly surprised to learn that his two-shot victory over Aaron Baddeley in the BMW Championship on Sunday was No. 60 in a PGA Tour career that began 11 years and 13 days earlier.
Only four other players have won that many times - Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer - and no one has reached that number so quickly. Woods is 31. Nicklaus was 35 and in his 14th season on tour when he reached his 60th tour victory.
