Charlie Woods is inside the projected cut line after the first round at the Junior PGA Championships.
Woods, a rising junior at the Benjamin School and son of legendary golfer Tiger Woods, shot 70 (1-under) in the first round of the 49th Junior PGA Championships on July 29 in West Lafayette, Indiana.
He is tied for 46th overall and six shots back of Pennsylvania’s Chase Yenser, who leads at 7-under.
Woods hit his stride down the closing stretch of Tuesday’s second round and carded birdie on three of his last six holes.
The Junior PGA Championships are comprised of two 72-hole stroke play tournaments for boys and girls junior amateur golfers. This year’s boys and girls tournaments will each feature 156 golfers, respectively.
The tournament will cut to the top 60 plus ties after Wednesday’s second round. It will cut down to the top 30 plus ties after the third round on Thursday.
The Junior PGA Championships were first hosted in 1976 and have a long history in Palm Beach County.
From 1980-2000, the event was hosted PGA National Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens in all but two years. In 1990, Tiger Woods finished runner-up to Fort Lauderdale’s Chris Couch at PGA National.
Previous tournament winners include major champions Trevor Immelman and David Toms.
