Despite his illustrious golf career, Tiger Woods never won a state golf championship in high school. However, his son, Charlie Woods, has broken this jinx.
He achieved this feat by shooting a 78-76 over two days, contributing to The Benjamin School’s victory in the FHSAA Class A boys golf state championship at Mission Inn Resort in Florida.
14-year-old Charlie was the fourth-best player on his five-man team and finished T-26 overall. The team secured the title as sophomore Jake Valentine contributed significantly, carding a crucial birdie on hole 17 and sinking the title-winning putt on the final hole, according to the Daily Mail.
