Charlie Woods T-2 after 9 holes at 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur qualifying in Florida
Charlie Woods T-2 after 9 holes at 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur qualifying in Florida Charlie Woods, the son of nine-time USGA champion Tiger Woods, is attempting to qualify for his second straight U.S. Junior Amateur. Woods is playing in the Eagle Trace Golf Club qualifier in Florida, where five spots are up for grabs. Woods, 16, made his U.S. Junior Amateur debut last summer at Oakland Hills in Michigan, where he missed the cut. Tiger won three U.S. Junior Amateur titles and also has three U.S. Amateurs to his name, too. Starting on No. 10, Woods was 3 under through eight holes before a bogey on the par-4 18th to turn in 2 under, which was good for T-2. His scores are only being updated after every nine holes, so don't expect any changes to his score until he completes play. Last month, Woods got his biggest win to date, winning the AJGA's Team TaylorMade Invitational at Streamsong Black in Central Florida, beating a field consisting of most of the top juniors in the country. Earlier this week, Woods, a Class of 2027 recruit, was able to be contacted for the first time by college coaches looking to recruit him. Earlier this month, he made the cut at the Florida Amateur Championship. The 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur is set for July 21-26 at Trinity Forest in Dallas.

Dentist, amateur golfer Matt Vogt returns to childhood course to play in US Open
Matt Vogt took a break from his day job of asking patients to open their mouths and say "ahhh" to focus on hitting jaw-dropping shots from the fairway. He traded his periodontal probe for a pitching wedge, his drill for a 5-iron. That's because Vogt, a 34-year-old dentist practicing in Indiana, qualified for the U.S. Open. He participated in media availability before major champions Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas. He warmed up alongside PGA Championship winner, Scottie Scheffler. He spoke like a natural and smoked golf balls like a natural. He may not claim his profession as a golfer, but make no mistake, he's been here before, and worked hard to return. Literally. Vogt grew up in Pittsburgh, and was a caddie at Oakmont, practicing on the course in his spare time. "This place means so much to me," he said during an interview with the Golf Channel on Wednesday. Vogt would also return to Oakmont during summer breaks while he was at the University of Butler, where he played golf from 2011-2013. Following college, he pursued a more modest career in dentistry. His love of golf, though, didn't fade. Vogt stayed sharp, and played in amateur tournaments; he even played in a U.S. Amateurs tournament at Oakmont in 2021. Recently, he performed well at a tournament in Walla Walla, Washington, and was able to earn a spot in the 125th U.S. Open. The tournament has always welcomed golfers of all tiers, as any professional or amateur with a 0.4 handicap index or lower can submit their name to compete for a spot at the U.S. Open. Vogt scored 8-under 136 on the 36-hole course at the Wine Valley Golf Tournament in April to qualify for the U.S. Open. Now, he's headed back home, as the 125th U.S. Open is set to be held at Oakmont Country Club for the 10th time. Call it coincidence, call it fate, but Vogt's been striving for this moment for years, and it lined up at the perfect time. The U.S. Open will run from June 12-15, and Vogt is set to tee off on Thursday 6:45 a.m. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Amateur legend Jay Sigel dies at age 81, USGA confirms

He also won three U.S. Mid-Am titles (1982, '85 and '87) and competed in nine Walker Cups, the most in event history for the U.S., including twice as a playing captain. Born and raised in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, Sigel won 10 state amateurs, four state opens, and three times each in the Porter Cup, Sunnehanna Amateur and Northeast Amateur.
