Charlie Woods out at US Junior Amateur Championship
Charlie Woods did not qualify to move on to the match play rounds at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship in Dallas. The 16-year-old son of Tiger Woods shot rounds of 81 and 74 for a 14-over 155 during stroke play on Monday and Tuesday. Match play began on Wednesday morning. The tournament began with 264 players taking part in stroke play at Trinity Forest Golf Club and Brook Hollow Golf Club. The field was narrowed to the top 64 for match play. One of those advancing was Cameron Kuchar, the son of PGA Tour pro Matt Kuchar. He finished the two-day stroke play at 3-over par 144, which was the cut line. Kuchar is a rising high school senior in Florida who has committed to play at TCU. He was competing against Kailer Stone of Alameda, Calif., in match play on Wednesday. Stone, 17, finished stroke play T13 at 1-under. The younger Woods is a rising high school junior. His first round at Brook Hollow was marred by four double bogeys and five bogeys with just two birdies to offset them. In his second round at Trinity Forest, he played the front nine at even par with three birdies and bogeys but lost three strokes on the back nine with two double bogeys and three bogeys with two birdies. Tiger Woods was in Dallas to watch his son play. Charlie Woods will have other chances to play in the U.S. Junior Amateur, seeking to join an impressive list of winners who went on to become majors champions. That list includes Johnny Miller (1964), David Duval (1989), Tiger Woods (1991-93), Brian Harman (2003), Jordan Spieth (2009, 2011) and Scottie Scheffler (2013). Tiger Woods was 15 when he won his first Junior Amateur. The younger Woods missed the cut last year at the tournament at Oakland Hills in Michigan.

Tiger Woods' son Charlie suffers major setback on the course in front of his dad
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.
