His father was in attendance to watch the event that he won at age 15, 16 and 17, making him the tournament’s only three-time champion.
Charlie Woods made three pars and a birdie through his first four holes on Tuesday (on the back nine) before hitting a disastrous stretch.
He closed the back nine by going double bogey, bogey, par, double bogey, triple bogey, leaving him at 8 over par for the day
Woods then settled down on the front nine, getting a birdie and five pars, but closed bogey-par-bogey. Only 17 players finished below Woods, including one who withdrew after the first round.
The son and his father will team up at the PNC Championship at Orlando in December.
