Tiger Woods watches 15-year-old son Charlie shoot a 12-over 82 in US Junior Amateur at Oakland Hills BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Charlie Woods, the 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods, covered his face with his cap after shaking hands with his playing partners on the 18th green at the Oakland Hills North Course. Woods shot a 12-over 82 on Monday in the U.S. Junior Amateur, a tournament he played his way into. “He still qualified,” Tiger Woods said to his son’s caddie after the rough round. “That’s what I keep telling him,” caddie Luke Wise said. Woods earned a spot in the field of top juniors from around the world when he shot a 1-under 71 to win his qualifier last month in Coral Springs, Florida. He will have to have quite a turnaround Tuesday on the Oakland Hills South Course, which Ben Hogan called “The Monster,” to be among the low 64 scorers from a field of 264 players from 40 states and 35 countries. Charlie Woods is the only one in the world who knows what it’s like to be the son of Tiger Woods, and now he’s fully aware of what it’s like to compete with all eyes on him. At an event that usually draws a few hundred people for the championship match, about 100 were waiting on the first tee to see Charlie play while his dad watched, and at least that many spectators followed them for hours.Tiger Woods watches 15-year-old son Charlie shoot a 12-over 82 in US Junior Amateur at Oakland Hills BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich.
