Charlie Woods Suffers Heartbreak At US Open Qualifier Just One Month After Dad’s DUI Arrest

After he carded a bogey on the first hole of Tuesday, Charlie Woods had to come from behind all day long. He had a boost on the back nine, but it wasn’t enough, as he struggled on the final three holes.

“A birdie three at the par-4 sixth returned him to level par for the day, only for the 17-year-old to find trouble on the 171-yard par-3 seventh and walk away with a double-bogey. Having made the turn in 38 strokes, Woods knew he would have to dig deep to make it through and he set about producing it with birdies at the par-5 10th and par-4 12th,” Jonny Leighfield of Golf Monthly wrote. “Unfortunately, the Florida-born amateur made par at each of the final three holes to leave himself in a large tie for 10th and wondering what might have been.”

He fell one stroke short of forcing a playoff at a tournament that has been elusive for the kid.

Just like Tony Romo, Charlie Woods will have to wait before getting another chance at qualifying for the U.S. Open.
