The teenage son of 15-time major golf tournament winner Tiger Woods has been unsuccessful in his second attempt to qualify for the US Open.
Charlie Woods, 16, carded a three-over-par 75 at Wellington (Florida) Golf Club on Friday (NZ time), seven strokes shy of the required score of 68.
The younger Woods did show improvement, however.
Last year, he fired a nine-over 81 at The Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St Lucie, Florida.
He rebounded to qualify for the US Junior Amateur, however he missed the cut at that tournament by 18 strokes.
Arth Sinha finished atop the heap in the US Open qualifying at six-under 66, one stroke better than Matthew Marigliano.
Tyler Stachkunas, Carson Kiawonn and Michael Gligic also punched their tickets to a one-day, 36-hole final qualifier at Emerald Dunes in West Palm Beach, Fla.
The 2025 US Open is 12-15 June at Oakmont (Pennsylvania) Country Club.

Photo: AFP Guard Tyrese Haliburton hit a 21-foot pull-up jumper in the final second, as Indiana Pacers enjoyed a stunning 111-110 comeback win over Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The Pacers hadn't led in the game, until Haliburton drained the shot with 0.3 seconds remaining. The best-of-seven series resumes with Game 2 in Oklahoma City on Monday (NZT). Indiana trailled by 15 early in the fourth quarter, before chipping away at the Thunder lead to ultimately win the final quarter 35-25. Oklahoma City forced plenty of turnovers, especially early, but the Thunder couldn't take advantage often enough, scoring just 11 points on Indiana's 25 giveaways. The Pacers turned the ball over 20 times in the first half alone. Early in the fourth quarter, Indiana were barely hanging on. Down by 13, the Pacers missed three consecutive shots on one possession. - Reuters
