Because of a rule by the USGA that stops parents from being caddies for their kids in this event, Tiger Woods could only cheer on his 15-year-old son Charlie at the US Junior Amateur championship. Unfortunately Charlie Woods didn’t make the cut, finishing 22 over after two rounds.
Only the best 64 players move forward to match play, starting on Wednesday. The championship match, spanning 36 holes, is set for Saturday.
Woods started off one over after four holes when a storm halted play for over an hour. When they resumed, he struggled on the front nine, playing five holes in eight over, with a tough triple bogey on the 18th. Two pitches landed on the elevated green but rolled back down the hill. It took him five shots to finally keep the ball on the green.
Charlie made it into the 264-player field last month but ended up near the bottom of the pack.
