Charlie Woods endured a rough tournament at the Will Lowery Junior Championship
Charlie Woods did not have an ideal debut at the Will Lowery Junior Championship, ending the tournament with a score of 21 over par. He shot an opening round of 6 over 78, a second round of 15 over 81 and a final round of 6 over 78.
The tournament was a rather rough one for the young golfer, which followed up his recent poor performance at the Cognizant Classic qualifier. Charlie received a sponsor’s invite to the tournament this weekend and will be attending more tournaments in the future.
Tiger Woods, who is Charlie’s biggest supporter, was seen supporting his son at the Will Lowery Championship. Tiger Woods is expected to make an appearance at the 2024 Masters. He last played at the Genesis Invitational, which he withdrew from due to flu-like symptoms.
