Woods, 16-year-old Charlie, misses out in US Open qualifier
It's going to be at least another year before 16-year-old Charlie Woods, the son of 15-time major winner Tiger Woods, will be playing in the US Open.
The younger Woods fired a three-over-par 75 at Wellington Golf Club in local qualifying in Florida last Monday for next month's US Open at Oakmont.
That left Charlie Woods seven strokes shy of taking one of the five spots on offer for the field of 84 into the 36-hole final qualifier on June 2 at Emerald Dunes in West Palm Beach, Florida.
It marked the second time Charlie Woods has tried to qualify for the US Open, having fired an 81 in local qualifying last year.
Tiger Woods, a three-time US Open winner, is expected to miss the rest of this year with a torn left Achilles tendon.
Charlie Woods won a qualifying event for the US Junior Amateur last July, but missed the cut in the actual tournament.
Tiger and Charlie Woods have played together in the PNC Championship for parents and children for the past five years, finishing as high as second in 2024 and 2021.
