In a thrilling development in the golfing world, the U.S. Open qualifier at The Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, features Charlie Woods, the 15-year-old son of golf legend Tiger Woods.
The young talent was set to tee off Thursday morning, joining other participants vying for a chance to advance to the final round of qualifying.
Charlie has been impressive in recent tournaments, even displaying a tee shot that cleared 321 yards to set up a birdie putt.
Despite facing challenges in earlier qualifiers this year, where he shot an 86, Charlie has proved his mettle and skill on the golf course.
The significance of this qualifier extends beyond this single event, harking back to memorable moments in golf history.
The U.S. Open will take place June 13-16 at North Carolina’s Pinehurst No. 2, a course storied for its role in the late Payne Stewart’s iconic 1999 victory.
Stewart’s jubilant celebration is immortalized in a statue near the 18th hole, marking a poignant moment in the sport’s history, further underscored by his tragic death in a plane crash later that year.
Tiger Woods brings his own legacy to this moment. A 15-time major winner, he claimed three U.S. Open titles, with a particularly memorable win in 2008 following a dramatic playoff against Rocco Mediate. His last major victory came in 2019 at the Masters.
