The rise of Charlie Woods in the game? CHARLIE WOODS ENDURES BRUTAL THREE ROUNDS ON AJGA DEBUT

Tiger Woods’ son Charlie Woods finishes 21-over par on his AJGA debut at the Will Lowery Junior Championship.

Charlie finished the 54-hole event at Carolina Trace Country Club on 21-over par.

That left him T32 in the 51-player field.

Patmom Malcom ran away with the tournament by eight strokes on 7-under par following rounds of 69, 70 and 70.

Charlie, who turned 15 in February, received a sponsor’s invite into the tournament.

Tiger was spotted supporting Charlie in his maiden event on the circuit that he dominated as a junior.

Charlie Woods endures rollercoaster first round on AJGA debut

Charlie Woods carded mediocre rounds of 78, 81 and 78 on his American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) debut at the Will Lowery Junior Championship.

The 15-time major champion had to rush back from the Bahamas to be there after holding secret talks with LIV Golf chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan earlier this week.

Charlie Woods +21 on AJGA debut
First Round

Charlie made birdies at the 6th, 7th and 14th, but he also threw in five bogeys and two consecutive double-bogeys at the 2nd and 3rd en route to an opening 6-over 78.

It left Charlie in the middle of the pack.

Second Round

Charlie once again struggled in the second round with eight bogeys and a double bogey at the par-4 5th.

His sole birdie came at the par-4 4th.

Charlie found himself at 15-over par in T40 with one round left to play on Sunday.

Final Round

Charlie teed off on the 10th and got off to a horror start with two bogeys and two doubles on his first six holes.

He steadied the ship with a birdie on the 17th to go out in 41.

Despite a bogey on the 1st, Charlie drained consecutive birdies on the 3rd and 4th.

However, he would hand both shots back on the 5th before making another bogey on 6.

Charlie then capped off his week on a positive note at least as he birdied his final hole, the par-4 9th, for a round of 6-over 78.

It left him T32 for the week.

Although it was a tough three days for Charlie, it was his AJGA debut and it will all be another learning curve for him.

Charlie also didn’t come last. Far from it.
Charlie’s inclusion in this week’s field attracted significant amount of media and fan interest.

According to reports, armed police were at the entrance and thoroughly checking IDs before issuing badges.

The move was likely a response to the behaviour Charlie was subjected to in February as he attempted to get into his first PGA Tour event.

Charlie played in a pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic and things didn’t go to plan as he shot a 16-over par 86.

But his round was marred by unruly fan behaviour at Lost Lake Golf Club.
