U.S Open: Charlie Woods Suffers Heartbreaking Finish At U.S. Open Qualifying Event

Unfortunately for Charlie Woods, he’s still waiting for his breakthrough moment on the golf course.

Charlie Woods, 17, had a chance this Tuesday to progress to final qualifying for the US Open. The son of the 15-time major champion certainly showcased his potential at Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs, Florida. At the end of the day though, he was dealt a strong dose of heartbreak.

Believe it or not, Woods fell one stroke short of forcing a playoff at Eagle Trace.

Woods essentially had to play catch-up since he carded a bogey on the first hole of the day. He certainly made a charge on the back nine, but he couldn’t summon any magic on the final three holes.

“A birdie three at the par-4 sixth returned him to level par for the day, only for the 17-year-old to find trouble on the 171-yard par-3 seventh and walk away with a double-bogey. Having made the turn in 38 strokes, Woods knew he would have to dig deep to make it through and he set about producing it with birdies at the par-5 10th and par-4 12th,” Jonny Leighfield of Golf Monthly wrote. “Unfortunately, the Florida-born amateur made par at each of the final three holes to leave himself in a large tie for 10th and wondering what might have been.”
