Charlie Woods met with disappointment at the last junior tournament, the US Junior Amateur Championship, not making the cut and thus causing strong reactions from the public. In the first round, one could feel that the 16-year-old had a strong motive, and in some moments he reminded the fans of Tiger Woods.
However, Charlie was not consistent in this tournament, and he was ultimately disappointed with his last performance.
Tiger was also in the stands, supporting his son, but even that didn't help Charlie to take a step further in this tournament.
New challenge
After an infamous adventure at one tournament, Charlie returned to the golf courses, playing at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex in West Lafayette, Indiana.
The young golfer impressed the public with a round of one under par (70), ending the day as 43rd out of 156 competitors.
Charlie shows signs that he is making more and more progress, and that he could be an important name in the world of golf.
Joe Couch reacts
Joe Couch, a man who has followed Tiger Woods' progress and great performances for years, was delighted with young Charlie's game, and he put special emphasis on the teenager's emotions.
Being calm in tense situations is very difficult for such a young golfer, but Tiger's son obviously knows how to deal with intense emotions.
"Tiger was the reason why I played golf and it's a cool experience to see everything and see Charlie play. It's surreal watching Charlie play at a course I play at every day.
There's a couple of shots I think he'd want back but I also feel like he's playing well. He's handling his emotions and there was a lot of commotion but I thought he was playing well."- he said, as quoted by Express.
Couch is not the only one who had positive emotions after Charlie's performance.
Many fans also shared the same emotions, believing that the 16-year-old is a huge talent, having the potential to make a career at least partially as big as Tiger Woods.
