Charlie Woods, the 16-year-old son of golfing great Tiger Woods, earned his first American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) win on Wednesday with a three-shot victory at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in Bowling Green, Florida.
Woods, playing in his fifth AJGA event, combined two bogeys with eight birdies for a six-under-par 66 on the Black Course at Streamsong Resort that brought him to 15 under on the week.
Willie Gordon (65), Phillip Dunham (68), and Colton (70) finished in a share of second place.
After a birdie-bogey start, Woods grabbed the solo lead late on the outward nine with four birdies over a sizzling five-hole stretch.
He then built a three-shot cushion with birdies at the 11th and 12th holes, dropped a shot at the 13th but responded immediately with a birdie at the 14th. He closed out his round with four consecutive pars.
"Just being able to say to myself that I have won an absolutely amazing event and say that I have performed under high-pressure situations is huge going forward," Woods said in a statement.
"I haven't been able to say I've done that, and now that I can, it is a big thing for my mental game going forward."
Charlie Woods is a high school junior.
He is ranked No. 606 in the AJGA rankings.
Before this week, Woods's best result on the AJGA circuit was a share of 25th place at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in March.
The junior Woods has competed with his father in the last five editions of the PNC Championship, a 36-hole event featuring two-player teams made up of a major champion and a family member and last December they finished runners-up for a second time.
Tiger has been sidelined since undergoing surgery in March to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon and is expected to miss the rest of the PGA Tour season.
