Tiger Woods' son Charlie immediately hits back after disastrous display in amateur tournament
Charlie Woods missed the cut at the US Junior Amateur Championship, a tournament his dad Tiger won three times, but he bounced back with a solid opening round in his next tournament Charlie Woods has bounced back in style with a strong opening round at the Junior PGA Championship to suggest he possesses his father's fighting spirit. The 16-year-old recently competed at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. It was a tournament his legendary father won three times. However, Charlie's bid to emulate Tiger 's success didn't go as planned when he missed the cut by a wide margin. A horror first round saw him card an 81, leaving him 11 over par. He improved in the second round with a three-over 74 at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Texas. But with a total of 14 over, Charlie was well off the three-under cut line and had to exit the tournament early. Undaunted, the young Woods wasted no time getting back into the swing of things at the Junior PGA, where young talents from across the world have gathered at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex in West Lafayette, Indiana. Charlie channelled his dad's renowned tenacity, shooting a one-under 70 thanks to some impressive fairway-hitting, placing him 43rd out of 156 competitors. Charlie, who didn't speak to the media after his round, managed to thrill the crowd, including die-hard Tiger fan and Birck Boilermaker club member Joe Couch. As reported by the IndyStar, Couch said: "Tiger was the reason why I played golf and it's a cool experience to see everything and see Charlie play. It's surreal watching Charlie play at a course I play at every day. "There's a couple of shots I think he'd want back but I also feel like he's playing well. He's handling his emotions and there was a lot of commotion but I thought he was playing well." Local resident Ryan Eli, from nearby Frankfort, brought his sons Ryker and Cole to witness the round. He said: "It's just great seeing all this amazing talent and being a lifelong fan, getting to share this experience with my boys is something I'll treasure." Woods is set to return to the course on Wednesday morning, aiming to make the cut and then climb the leaderboard. Aside from his hiccup at the U.S. Junior Amateur, Woods' form is on an upward trajectory. In May, he clinched his first American Junior Golf Association tournament at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in Florida. He posted a six-under final round of 66 to win the tournament on 15 under at Streamsong Resort's Black Course in Bowling Green. Woods ended three shots ahead of Phillip Dunham, Willie Gordon and Luke Colton. He entered the event ranked 604th in the AJGA boys rankings, with his previous best tournament performance being a tie for 25th place at the Junior Invitational in March.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Tiger Woods' son, Charlie, significantly improved his performance during the second round of the US Junior Amateur Championship. Unfortunately for him, it won't be enough to advance in the event. Charlie Woods navigated a turbulent second round at Trinity Forest Golf Club, marked by numerous highs and lows. He started with a bogey on the first hole, but recovered quickly and responded with a birdie on the second. He then alternated birdies and bogeys between holes four and seven to make the turn at even par. The younger Woods continued to struggle with the course on the back nine. He made bogey on the 11th and then alternated birdies and bogeys again, this time between holes 14 and 17. Thus, he arrived at the 18th tee with a score of 1-over for the round and 12-over for the tournament. The final hole marked his farewell to the event, and, unfortunately for him, on a poor note. Charlie double-bogeyed the 18th hole to finish with a 36-hole score of 14-over.
