Charlie Woods is heading to Michigan to play in his first USGA championship. Something his father knows a lot about.
Woods shot 1-under 71 at the U.S. Junior Amateur Qualifying at Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs, Fla., to win medalist honors by one shot. He was the only golfer to shoot under par en route to winning the medalist honors.
He recorded five birdies, two bogeys, and one double bogey in the round. He was 1-under after the front nine with birdies on holes No. 5 and 8 and a bogey on No. 3, but he made a bogey on No. 10 and a double bogey on No. 11.
He bounced back nicely with birdies on holes No. 13, 15, and 16 to get to 1-under and earn the medalist honors by one shot.
Charlie Woods won his qualifier for the U.S. Junior Amateur, topping 85 other players. 👏
