Woods shot a 9-over 81 in Port St. Lucie, Fla., in his first attempt at playing in a local U.S. Open qualifying round
Charlie Woods shot 9-over 81 at a U.S. Open local qualifier in Port St. Lucie, Fla., on Thursday and failed to advance to the final qualifying stage in hopes of reaching June's 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.
There were 84 players in the field at the Legacy Golf & Tennis Club, with five spots available to advance to a final qualifying site, where then participants can qualify for the U.S. Open.
This was Woods's first time playing in a local U.S. Open qualifying round.
Two months ago, Woods played in a pre-qualifying round for the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches, which was held at Lost Lake Golf Club. The crowd was one the tournament officials were not expecting, and it made for challenges for Woods throughout the round. Woods shot a 16-over 86.
