Tiger Woods’ teenage son Charlie misses US junior tournament
Charlie Woods, the 15-year-old son of 15-time major winner Tiger Woods, shot a 10-over par 80 on Tuesday to miss the cut to the U.S. Junior Amateur. Teenager Woods, who opened play with an 82 on Monday, made one birdie, four bogeys, two double bogeys and a triple to finish with a 22-over 162 for 36 holes at Oakland Hills Country Club in suburban Detroit. He finished near the bottom of the field of 264 golfers, 18 shots off the pace of the 64 players who qualified for the match-play competition.
NEW DELHI: Charlie Woods, the teenage son of golfing legend Tiger Woods, struggled in his last tournament appearance. In the second round of the U.S. Junior Amateur on Tuesday, the 15-year-old shot a disappointing 10-over-par 80 after a first-round 82.
Through 36 holes at Oakland Hills Country Club near Detroit, Charlie had just one birdie to go with a few bogeys, double bogeys and triple bogeys. He got off to a bad start, finishing near the bottom of the 264 players with a score of 22-over 162 over the two days, and the cut line for match play was 18 strokes higher than Charlie’s score. Although Tiger Woods was present to support his son, tournament rules prevented him from serving as Charlie’s caddy.
The eventual winner of the championship, determined in the 36-hole final on Saturday, will earn a spot in the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont. Tiger Woods himself is a three -stroke winner of an American amateur who won the title in 1991, 1992 and 1993.
The only winner of the event is the Jodic Sliping, which won 2009 and 2011. In recent years, Tiger and Charlie have competed together in the PNC Championship, a father-son tournament, and finished as runners-up in 2021.
