Young Charlie’s group had such a large following of fans that gallery ropes were placed on each hole as his group made their way around the course. We have watched Charlie compete with his dad on television in the PNC Father/Child event. We have seen him hit bombs off the tees and be an integral part of the two-man team. Charlie has won numerous junior events and earlier this year his high school team won the Florida High School State Championship. The younger Woods found Oakland Hills to be a challenge posting rounds of 82-80 and finishing well outside the top 64 players that went on to the match play portion of the tournament. The U.S. Junior Amateur includes two rounds of medal play to determine the 64 players that will play match play to decide the winner. Blades Brown, from Nashville, fired two rounds of 66-68 to finish six-under par besting Huntsville, Alabama’s Tyler Watts by a single shot to claim the top seed heading into match play. Charlie Woods didn’t prevail this time, but in golf, as in life, we learn much more in defeat than in victory. Plus, he will have two more chances at the U.S. Junior Amateur before he turns 18.
