After helping his father, Tiger Woods, prep for the 124th U.S. Open, Charlie Woods now has another USGA Championship to get ready for. He has qualified for the 76th U.S. Junior Amateur, which Oakland Hills Country Club in Detroit, Michigan, will host in late July.
The 15-year-old Woods carded a 1-under 71 at the Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs, Florida, as 86 players vied for four qualifying spots. Woods bested them all, winning medalist honors with the only under-par score of the day.
He made three birdies over his final six holes—an impressive accomplishment on any stretch, let alone after he dropped three shots on the 11th and 12th holes combined.
But now he will have an opportunity to win a U.S. Junior Amateur title, something his father did three years in a row, from 1991 to 1993. Tiger won his first at Bay Hill in Orland and then triumphed at Wollaston Golf Club in Massachusetts before winning again at Waverley Country Club in Oregon in 1993. The now 15-time major champion went on to win three consecutive U.S. Amateur titles after that, meaning he won six straight USGA Championships—an accomplishment likely never to happen again.
Meanwhile, the younger Woods has had an impressive stretch over recent months. In November, he helped his high school team win the Florida High School Golf Championship. Then, a month later, he and his father tied for fifth at the PNC Championship. He recently tried to qualify for the U.S. Open but fell short. Yet, that did not set him back, as he rebounded with an exceptional performance in U.S. Junior Amateur qualifying.
