Tiger and Torrey, and a mixed bag of memories

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Tiger Woods was quick to set the record straight, with a smile.

As he gets ready to embark on his 21st season on the PGA Tour, a reporter mentioned to Woods that he had won at Torrey Pines ''seven or eight times'' and asked how much his comfort level was a factor in deciding where to start his year.

''Eight times,'' Woods replied. ''And one as a junior, so it's technically nine. So I like that place .''

Woods first dipped his toes in the water eight weeks ago in the Bahamas at an unofficial event with an 18-man field and no cut.
