Charlie Woods, son of Tiger, moves into serious contention at AJGA event for first time It might be time to break out the "Wednesday Red" in Bowling Green, Florida. Charlie Woods, 16 and a rising junior at the Benjamin School and the son of Tiger Woods, surged into contention Tuesday at the Team TaylorMade Invitational at Streamsong Resort's Black Course.

Jacksonville Beach's Miles Russell, who is No. 1 in the AJGA boys rankings, and Port St. Lucie's Jessy Huebner are also a shot back at 9-under. Woods kicked off a birdie barrage on the par-5 No. 12 hole, one of five he'd card in a bogey-free back nine holes (his opening nine after starting on No. 12, which is next to the Black's clubhouse) that vaulted him into the tournament's top five. He overcame a pair of bogeys on the front nine with four more birdies, finishing with nine total for the round, to rocket into second place. The second round followed a first in which Woods produced a wild scorecard, shooting a 2-under 70 that included just three pars alongside one eagle, eight birdies, five bogeys and a triple bogey.
