Charlie Woods Fails to Advance to U.S. Junior Amateur Match Play After Being Bothered by Camera
Charlie Woods missed match play after a bogey on the first playoff hole, ending a 14-player fight for two spots.
- Charlie Woods' 2026 U.S. Junior Amateur run ended Wednesday at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, after he bogeyed the first hole of a 14-man playoff for the final two match-play spots.
- The 17-year-old son of 15-time major champion Tiger Woods reached the playoff after shooting rounds of 76 and 70, marking his best performance in three tournament appearances at this championship.
- From 270 yards out on the par-5 first hole, a camera shutter noise disrupted Woods' backswing, and he responded, "Really, dude?" after his shot landed in rough about 25 yards short of the green.
- Incoming Cincinnati freshman Eli Wessel and Hudson Kutchma of Westfield, Indiana, survived the playoff to secure the final two match-play spots, while Woods' inability to convert a 35-foot chip for birdie ended his tournament.
- Match play continues through Saturday at the Junior Amateur Championship, while Woods, a Florida State University commit, will prepare for his senior high school season after falling short in his third tournament appearance.
