Charlie Woods may only be 15 years old, but the golf prodigy is already showing uncanny signs that, when it comes to mentality and motivation, he’s just like his famous father, Tiger, 49.
A spectacular hole-in-one from Tiger Woods’ son Charlie was not enough to overcome two-time major winner Bernhard Langer and his son Jason on Sunday at the PNC Championship – a two-day, 36-hole competition that features 20 major champions and their family members playing in a scramble format.
Team Woods and Team Langer both started the final round of the tournament tied at -13, and 18 holes was not enough to separate the teams at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida.
But in the end, it was Team Langer winning the tournament for the second consecutive year, and the sixth time winning this event for 67-year-old team anchor Bernhard.
Team Woods sprang into the lead on the fourth hole with a hole-in-one from Charlie Woods that drew a huge reaction from proud father Tiger which will live in highlight reels for years to come.
The Langers were steady and relentless throughout their round, repeatedly drawing even with Team Woods, only to see the Woodses re-establish their lead. Team Langer birdied eight of the nine holes on the back nine Sunday, one stroke better than Team Woods, as both teams finished 36 holes at -28 to force a playoff.
