(Reuters) - Justin Rose and Tiger Woods share a great affection for Torrey Pines but their results were very different in Southern California on Thursday when they ended the opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open 11 shots apart.

Woods, who has won this PGA Tour event seven times along with a U.S. Open title at the same spectacular venue in 2008, struggled to a four-over 76 while Olympic champion Rose soared into a one-stroke lead after firing a 65.
