“I wanted to win”: Charlie Woods cries after being disqualified from the U.S. Junior Amateur for a violent fight… Golf is a family affair for Tiger Woods, but now there’s apparently something else going on: a USGA championship.
On Wednesday night, the 15-time major winner’s son, Charlie Woods, became the second member of the Woods family to qualify for the U.S. Junior Amateur. The younger Woods shot a 7-under 71 in qualifying at Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs, Fla., to earn medalist honors and one of 264 spots on the roster for the world’s most prestigious junior championship.
According to the USGA, Woods overcame a slow start in the qualifying tournament to score five birdies in the final 16 holes and take the lead in the qualifying tournament by one stroke. “I didn’t play very well the first two holes, but the last 16 holes I played really well,” the younger Woods said Wednesday. “I told myself not to make any more bogeys or doubles and I got some good birdies so I took advantage of that. My biggest strength today was my putting. I made a lot of putts when I needed to.
Tiger’s only son has achieved a cult-like reputation among golf fans in the years since his PNC Parent-Child Championship debut. As his junior golf career continued to unfold in South Florida, his fame only grew, but so did change: After Charlie’s brilliant (and terrifying) debut brought attention to his golf game, the younger Woods retreated from the spotlight, spending his final months as his father’s swing coach. “I hesitate him and trust him in my game,” said Tiger last week. “He saw him more than anyone else in the world. He has seen me hit more golf balls than anyone else and I tell him what to look out for especially when putting. He gave me some little insights today, which was great, because I tend to forget some of the things I’m working on because I’m so ingrained in hitting certain putts on certain flags. »
The U.S. Junior Amateur title is perhaps the biggest reminder that the young Woods’ competitive career continues. Charlie has missed out on several competitive opportunities in recent months, including failing to qualify for the Monday qualifiers at his hometown PGA Tour event, the Cognizant Classic. At the end of last year, his coach of Lycéetobyharbek talked about his development as a player.
“There is a specific pin that you don’t want to follow, he attacks everything. “Once I can get him off the hook a little bit, he’ll be a much better player,” Harbeck said, but … “He can hit over .300 in a heartbeat. He has a different mode: Sometimes it’s a nice little swing, and sometimes he puts it in ultra mode and can just fly.
Now the focus will shift back to Oakland Hills Country Club in Michigan, where the younger Woods will play for the U.S. Junior Amateur, the same tournament his father won three times as a junior golfer. Woods’ performance will be under intense scrutiny at his first major event — and he says he’s enjoying it.
“It’s amazing to qualify for my first USGA Championship,” he said. “USGA has a great meaning for me. I want to get a USGA championship.
