It's a cub for Tiger Woods. The world's most famous golfer is now a daddy.
Less than 24 hours after Woods finished second at the U.S. Open on Father's Day, his wife gave birth to a daughter. Woods announced on his Web site -- www.tigerwoods.com -- that Sam Alexis Woods was born early Monday morning. "Both Elin and Sam are doing well and resting peacefully," Woods wrote. "We want to thank our doctors and the hospital staff for all their dedicated and hard work.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. We thank everyone for their well wishes and continued respect of our privacy."He also said that pictures of his wife and daughter would be made available soon. Woods finished a shot behind Angel Cabrera on Sunday to finish second in a major for the second time this year. Phil Mickelson's first child was also born the day after he finished second in the U.S. Open in 1999.
