The golfer named Woods, who covered his clubs with plush tiger figurines, 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 in the first of the two rounds of the PNC Championship. And, according to his father, who won 15 specializations in his illustrious career, Charlie played as if he were at home.
He was barely nervous in front of about 250 spectators who were paying attention to his performance. Not even his father had such an audience with the Masters of the Pandemic Year.
Confident, Charlie made his stick turn a few times before firing. He quickly took the tee after the trip and even hit a fist in the air on hole 3, par.5, when an eagle was scored, using wood 3 for a shot of about three feet.
In Scramble mode, the Woods duo delivered a 62-stroke book, 10 under par, to four hits by Mark Kuchar and his son Cameron.
“I don’t really care about my game,” Woods said. “I just 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 that began playing in 1995 and in which only the adults’ champions initially participated with their children. The contest has now been extended to other family members
Woods’ son loves golf so much that he’s already started playing children’s tournaments.
A TV room was about 15 meters to Charlie’s right, on the first tee of the Ritz-Carlton Club in Grand Lakes. The young man spun too fast, and the ball turned to the left.
Therefore, the couple preferred to use the father’s father blow. Charlie ended up making the bird well.
And it was the last time Woods used Tiger’s tee shot in a long hole to 15. It helped Charlie shoot 100 yards after the PGA Tour players’ tee point. for some holes.
Woods was not surprised by the show.
“I’ve seen that before, unlike a lot of people,” he said. “Many of the photos he took were taken at home, at the (Florida club) Medalist, throughout the year.”
The Kuchar duo have a two-shot lead over the Singhs, who are in second place.
