WATCH: Charlie Woods gets visibly frustrated after his wayward swing at US Junior Amateur
Charlie Woods was visibly frustrated with his wayward shot at the 2024 US Junior Amateur. The 15-year-old had a rough round at the ongoing USGA tournament, struggling with his game and failing to make it to the final two rounds.
Woods was clearly disappointed with his shots. After taking a shot during the second round, Woods hit his driver on the ground out of frustration. Pete Pappas shared a video of the golfer on his X (formerly Twitter) account, writing:
"Tough round for Charlie Woods on Oakland Hills South Course. He won’t be around for the U.S. Junior Amateur Match Play. Charlie was under a microscope this week. Clearly frustrated with how he’s played. And has to be added pressure with the eyes of enormous galleries watching your every move and taking photographs of every step and swing. But Charlie is handling it all with poise. He can hold his head held high and onto the next. #USJuniorAmateur."
Charlie Woods made his debut at the USGA tournament this week. After competing in a qualifying round last month, he earned a spot in the field, winning the event to qualify for the junior event.
Charlie Woods' father, Tiger Woods, has won the tournament three times in his career, and undoubtedly, fans had high hopes for Jr. Woods as well. However, he struggled at the US Junior Amateur.
Woods started his outing at the US Junior Amateur with a round of 82 in stroke play. However, he could not maintain momentum as the game progressed, ultimately missing the cut.
