Charlie Woods' attempt at a bounce-back in the US Junior Amateur Championship came up short as the son of golf icon Tiger Woods missed the cut at the tournament.
Playing at Trinity Forest Golf Club and Brook Hollow Golf Club in Dallas, Charlie had a rough first day at the tournament but hoped to bounce back in the second round.
Unfortunately, that didn't happen as Charlie's 11-over first round and 3-over second round led to him missing the cut by a massive 12-stroke margin.
With Tiger watching on, Charlie struggled massively at Brook Hollow on Monday - leading to that 11-over round.
On Tuesday, at Trinity Forest, Charlie seemed to handle the course much better.
He played the first nine in an even-par 36 and had the chance to finish under par after the back nine.
He followed that with a better effort Tuesday, but his 14-over combined score missed the cut
However, he bogeyed the 17th hole and then double-bogeyed the final hole to arrive at his 3-over 74.
It means that Charlie will not be able to match the result that his father accomplished back in 1991 - when Tiger became the youngest US Junior Amateur champion at the time. Tiger also won the Junior Amateur in 1992 and 1993.
Charlie played in the tournament last year and suffered a similar fate - carding rounds of 82 and 80 at Oakland Hills in 2024.
His inclusion in the tournament this year came via a playoff at a qualifying site in Coral Springs, Florida.
Notable winners of the US Junior Amateur include major winners Johnny Miller, David Duval, Brian Harman, Jordan Spieth (twice) and Scottie Scheffler.
