Golf is a family affair for Tiger Woods, and now apparently something else is too: USGA Championships.
On Wednesday evening, Charlie Woods, the 15-year-old son of the 15-time major champion, became the second member of the Woods family to qualify for the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. The younger Woods shot a one-under score of 71 to secure medalist honors at the Eagle Trace Golf Club qualifier in Coral Springs, Fla., grabbing one of 264 spots in the field of the junior game’s most prestigious championship.
According to the USGA, Woods overcame a bogey-double start in the qualifier by recording five birdies over his last 16 holes, finishing in first place in the qualifying event by one shot.
I didn’t play great my first two holes, but I played really good for the last 16,” the younger Woods said Wednesday. “I just told myself not to make any more bogeys or doubles and I took advantage of some nice birdie looks when I had them. Putting was my biggest strength today. I made a lot of putts when I needed to.”
