Tiger Woods’ 15-year-old son, Charlie, has qualified for his first USGA championship. Charlie shot 1-under 71 to medal in the U.S. Junior Amateur qualifier at Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs, Florida on Wednesday. He was one of four players to advance to next month’s U.S. Junior at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The championship will be contested July 22-27 with the first two days being stroke-play qualifying.
“I feel amazing to have qualified for my first USGA championship,” said Charlie Woods. “I can’t wait to compete in the U.S. Junior Amateur next month, especially at such a historic venue like Oakland Hills.”
Charlie started his round with a double bogey and a bogey before rallying with five birdies and just a single birdie the rest of the way. He was the only player to break par, shooting a total of 68 for the tournament.
“I didn’t play great on my first two holes,” said Charlie Woods, “but I played really well for the rest of the round, especially with my putting.” Tiger Woods won three U.S. Junior titles (1991, 1992, 1993) in four appearances and held a 22-1 match play record in the championship
