Fans and commentators are in a frenzy over Tiger Woods’ 12-year-old son Charlie after they teamed to finish second at the PNC Championship.
Tiger and Charlie reeled off a tournament-record 11 straight birdies to card a final round 57 on Sunday, finishing two shots behind winners John Daly and his son John Daly Jr.
Tiger more than delivered in his highly-anticipated return to competitive golf after a February car accident nearly resulted in his right leg having to be amputated.
He was all smiles but fatigued after going bogey-free over the two-day, non-PGA Tour level event.
“I’m happy and thankful that I’m able to do this. What a blast it was,” said Woods, who used a cart to get around the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando.
“I still have my old leg, which was questionable for a while, and it’s functioning.
“I’m just really tired. I’m not used to this. I think this might be my fifth round of golf this year.
“I’m a little worn out, but it was nice to have a cart.”
While Tigers was the main attraction, it was Charlie who stole the show.
The 12-year-old displayed his father’s unflappable calmness while delivering accurate drives and timely putts on a sunny day in central Florida.
“We got on a run, which was great. Charlie was hitting the ball unbelievable and made a few putts,” Tiger said.
“It got interesting and a little tight toward the end, which was fun.
“He’s an unbelievable player and partner.”
