SAN DIEGO — No one else had a chance to beat Justin Rose at Torrey Pines Golf Course on Sunday, and so his final challenge was to take on Tiger Woods.

Rose won that battle, too.

In what Rose felt was the most complete tee-to-green performance of his career, the 45-year-old Englishman sailed to a 2-under-par 70 for a seven-shot victory in the Farmers Insurance Open, breaking the 72-hole tournament record last set by Woods in 1999.

“Sorry, T-dub, if you’re watching,” Rose said in his CBS interview on the 18th green.

No apologies necessary. Rose knew the score. It’s one of the goals he set to keep him pushing forward, even when no one got closer than the six-shot lead he had going into the final round. He tapped in for par to finish at 23-under 265, one better than Woods and George Burns in 1987.
