Golf fans wondered where Tiger Woods was during the weekend’s Team USA President’s Cup victory.
Well, it appears that the 15-time major champion was caddying for his 13-year-old son, Charlie, at a qualifier tournament for the Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship.
On Sunday, Charlie recorded a personal best score of 68. After the round, the younger Woods was asked about what helped him bounce back after shooting an 80 on Saturday.
“Well, dad told me to stay patient,” Woods said. “I just played steady golf. Yeah, stay patient, play, focus on each shot, don’t look too far ahead and just stay in the game.”
It sounds as if the golf legend provided sage advice to keep his son on track to shoot his new low score.
“It was awesome. I couldn’t have done it without him,” Charlie Woods said. “Some shots, I would’ve been so off, but he steered me in the right course.”
Also on Sunday, the younger Woods recorded his first albatross—three under par on one hole. Apparently, the elder Woods has only accomplished the feat twice in his career.
“When I hit it, I knew it was good, but it started trickling down,” Charlie Woods said. “I knew it was going to be close, not that close.”
The father-son duo paired up for last December’s PNC Championship, finishing two shots behind the winners, John Daly and John Daly II.
