Royal Palm Beach, FL – Charlie Woods, the 14-year-old son of golf legend, Tiger Woods, shot 72-71 (143) to win the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour’s Major Championship at Village Golf Course this weekend.
Charlie Woods, the event’s defending champion, won the 2-day, 36-hole major tournament by 8 strokes.
In Saturday’s opening round, Woods made four birdies en route to an even par score of 72. He entered Sunday’s second round with a 5-shot cushion in the 14-15 age division.
In round two, Woods followed with a 1-under par score of 71, including a run of 5 birdies in a 7-hole stretch to seal the victory over Winter Park, FL’s Noah Manly, who shot 77-74 (151) and finished 2nd.
