The golfer with the surname Woods and the one who covered his clubs with plush tiger figures played well on Saturday.
And Tiger Woods wasn’t bad either.
Charlie Woods, Tiger’s 11-year-old son, made his national television debut on Saturday during the first of two rounds of the PNC Championship. And according to his father, who has won 15 majors in his illustrious career, Charlie played like he was at home.
He was hardly nervous until about 250 spectators paid attention to his performance. Not even his father had such an audience at the Masters of the Year of the Pandemic.
Charlie confidently turned his stick for a few turns before taking his pictures. He quickly picked up the tee after the drive and even hit a fist in the air on hole 3, par 5, when an eagle was scored, using the 3 wood for a shot of about three feet.
In scramble mode, the Woods duo delivered a card of 62 tricks, 10 undersized, within four hits from Mark Kuchar and his son Cameron.
“I don’t really care about my game,” said Woods. “I want to make sure Charlie has the best experience of his life. And he has it ”.
Charlie Woods is the youngest boy to participate in this 36-hole tournament, which was played in 1995 and originally only featured the champions of the majors along with their children. The competition has now been extended to other family members
Woods’s son loves golf so much that he has already started playing some kids’ tournaments.
A TV camera was located about five feet from Charlie, to the right of the first tee of the Ritz-Carlton club in Grand Lakes. The young man swung too fast and the ball swung to the left.
Hence, the couple preferred to use the dad’s tee shot. Charlie eventually made the putt for a birdie.
And that was the last time the Woods used Tiger’s tee shot on a long hole to 15. It helped Charlie fire his shots 100 yards past the tee point of the players on the PGA Tour. for single holes.
Woods was not surprised by the performance.
“I’ve seen this, unlike many people,” he said. “Many of the shots he made were made at home year-round at (the Florida club) The Medalist.”
The Kuchar duo has a two-shot lead over the Singhs, who are in second place.
