Where did Tiger Woods and his son, Charlie, finish at the PNC Championship Day 1?
Day 1 of the 2023 PNC Championship has come to an end, and the pair of Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods is looking decent. Despite just coming back from a prolonged absence, Woods appears fit and in control of his game.
At the end of day 1, the Woods' duo finished T11, with an overall score of 8-under 64. This leaves them with some catching up to do, especially if they want to win the tournament, considering that they are the favorites to do so. It is Matt Kucher and his son Cameron who are currently leading the field, 7 shots ahead of Charlie and Tiger Woods.
Another highlight of the day was that Tiger Woods' daughter, Sam Woods, was on the bag for him. For the Woods, it was a family affair. Speaking about day 1, Woods said via PGA Tour:
“For me to have both my kids inside the ropes like this and participating and playing and being part of the game of golf like this, it couldn't have been more special for me. And I know that we do this a lot at home, needle each other and have a great time. But it was more special to do it in a tournament like this.”
