Tiger Woods’ son Charlie echoes famous Masters moment with chip-in birdie
Tiger Woods’ son Charlie appeared to imitate one of his father’s most iconic moments as he sunk a stunning chip for birdie at the PNC Championship. The 14-year-old’s performance throughout the tournament was praised by many, and he even evoked memories of Woods’ stunning chip at the 2005 Masters.
On the final day of the PNC Championship, Charlie amazed those in attendance with a delicate chip on the ninth hole. With his ball just outside the green, the younger Woods chipped the ball which slowly creeped its way into the hole.
After sinking the incredible shot, Charlie pointed to the sky and pumped his fist in excitement, yelling “Come on” as he made his way around the green when the ball dropped into the hole. Woods had an immense smile etched across his face as he clapped while beaming with pride.
Naturally, the moment had some similarities to perhaps the most iconic shot of Woods’ career: his chip on the 16th hole at August on championship Sunday. He went on to defeat Chris DiMarco to claim the fourth of his five Masters title
Woods stuck to tradition and wore his signature red shirt as it was the final day of the competition while son Charlie donned a purple jumper. However, the pair finished the PNC Championship tied for fifth place with Teams Lehman, Cink, Kuchar and Daly at -19.
