–
Charlie, the 11-year-old son of Tiger Woods (45, USA), made a strong impression with a wonderful eagle at an event competition with his father.
The youngest player in the PNC Championship, which opened at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club (par 72) in Orlando, Florida, USA, on the 20th (Korean time) was the youngest.
The PNC Championship is an event of the American Professional Golf (PGA) Tour, in which 20 major and Players Championship winners participate in pairs with their families. Drew.
Charlie is the son of Woods and ex-wife Elin Nordegren in 2009.
Woods and Nordegren divorced in August 2010.
Woods has shown an attitude of “depending on Charlie’s thoughts” on whether to raise Charlie as a golfer.
However, the fact that Charlie won the regional junior competition in August became known, and several aspects resembling Woods emerged, and the participation in this competition, where he showed his skills in front of the public for the first time, also attracted attention.

In the first round of Charlie’s’National Broadcasting Debut’, the rich man of Woods came out wearing a purple top and black pants side by side.
‘Team Woods’, who started off with a pleasant combination of the second shot of his father and his son’s putt on the first hole, was excited with the third hole (par 5) eagle.
In particular, this eagle was created by Charlie himself and surprised viewers, including his father Woods.
In this competition, two players from a team each take a tee shot, choose the better of the two tee shot results, and both take the next shot at that point, starting with Charlie’s tee shot.
Then Charlie fired a bold wood shot, leaving 175 yards to the hole, and the ball went up to the green and stuck to the hole a meter or so.
Charlie, who was delighted by clenching his fists, finished the eagle by doing putt himself.
Woods, who watched Putt and applauded, held his son’s hand and shared joy, and couldn’t hide his big smile, as if his mouth was caught in his ear.
Afterwards, the rich man of Woods continued his momentum as a buddy on the 4th to 7th holes, and reduced one stroke in the 9th hole (par 4), reducing only 8 strokes in the first half.

In the second half, he was a bit slow, but Charlie’s sharp second shot on the 16th hole (par 4) almost made it into another scene.
The rich man Woods, who hit 62 at 10 under par that day, was tied for sixth place, behind Matt Kucher (42, USA) and son Cameron (13), who recorded 58 at 14 under par.
Foreign media such as the Associated Press noted that Charlie not only swings from Woods, but also pulls the tee while the ball is flying after taking a tee shot, moves his foot while the ball rolls toward the hole after putting, and standing while waiting on the green did.
After the game, Woods said of Charlie’s 16-hole game, “It was a perfect six-iron shot.
I made a beautiful swing, and I almost got in.”
“The most important thing is that I am my dad, but both Charlie and I have a competitive spirit,” he said. “We want to win,” he said. “We want to win.”
