Tiger Woods’ son Charlie falls short in PGA Tour pre-qualifier

Charlie Woods' hopes of playing in the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic next week ended when the 15-year-old son of golfing great Tiger Woods failed to qualify at a pre-qualifying event at Hobe Sound , in Florida, Thursday.

Woods came out with the early starters and shot a 16-over 86 at Lost Lake Golf Club, which was one of four pre-qualifying sites.

With preferred lies in effect and players using carts, Woods was 4 over par through his first five holes before his round ended with a disastrous 12 at the par-4 seventh hole.

But Woods responded calmly with a run of six pars before a double bogey at the par-3 14th which he followed with two consecutive bogeys before closing his round with a pair of pars.

Woods played alongside Olin Browne Jr. – son of three-time PGA Tour winner Olin Browne – who carded a 2-over 72.

The top five scores and ties from each of the pre-qualifying sites advance to Monday's qualifier. The top four golfers in qualifying advance to the Cognizant Classic, where the winner will receive $1.62 million of the event's $9 million purse.
