Miles Russell Qualifies for the US Open at Age 17 with Tiger Woods' Son on the Bag
Russell earned one of 43 U.S. Open spots after a three-for-two playoff and a two-putt birdie with Charlie Woods on his bag.
- On Monday, 17-year-old amateur Miles Russell qualified for his first major championship, the U.S. Open, after a playoff at BallenIsles Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
- After shooting 6-under-par 138, Russell secured his spot with a two-putt birdie on the second playoff hole, denying professional golfer Tyler Collet the final qualifying position.
- Serving as his caddie, Charlie Woods, son of golf legend Tiger Woods, helped 'keep it so light' during the high-pressure 38-hole qualifier. Russell said, "It's the first time I've had a buddy on the bag. I really like it, not talking much golf, just having a good time."
- Currently the top-ranked junior golfer in the world, Russell is committed to Florida State in the class of 2027 and has twice been named American Junior Golf Association Player of the Year.
- The U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Country Club on Long Island runs June 18-21, though it remains undetermined whether Woods will continue to caddie for Russell at the major.
