Charlie Woods\u2019 U.S. Junior Amateur will continue into a third day.<\/p>\n
Woods, the 17-year-old son of Tiger Woods, who won this USGA championship three straight times and now has the trophy named in his honor, shot even-par 70 Tuesday on Saucon Valley\u2019s Grace Course to finish 36 holes of stroke-play qualifying at 5 over.<\/p>\n
With the top 64 players qualifying for the match-play portion, Woods, among those at T-63, will return to the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania layout on Wednesday morning for a 14-for-2 playoff, which will start at 7 a.m. ET and use, in order, hole Nos. 1, 5 and 18 on the Grace. The Old Course is the match-play host.<\/p>\n
Woods\u2019 second round, which followed Monday\u2019s 5-over 76 on the Old and started Tuesday afternoon on No. 10, included a 2-under 33 first nine, which was highlighted by birdies at Nos. 16 and 18 and an eagle after driving the green at the 332-yard, par-4 13th.<\/p>\n
Woods bogeyed Nos. 4 and 7 coming in to slip just above the cut line.<\/p>\n
This is Woods\u2019 third straight U.S. Junior start, though he missed match play by considerable margins in each of his first two appearances. He carded rounds of 82-80 in his 2024 debut at Oakland Hills before posting 80-74 last year at Trinity Forest.<\/p>\n
With Woods\u2019 future Florida State teammate Miles Russell firing a 5-under 66 Tuesday on the Old and sharing medalist honors at 6 under with Sohan Patel and Brayden Jones, there is a chance that if Woods is the first players to make it through the playoff he would be the 63rd seed and face Russell, the No. 2 seed, in the first round of matches.<\/p>\n
Other notables advancing to match play include Vanderbilt incoming freshman Tyler Mawhinney (T-5), who has future teammate Luke Colton\u2019s dad, Jim, on his bag this week; Czechia\u2019s Louis Klein (T-11), who is the third highest-ranked player in the field at No. 65 in WAGR (Russell is No. 7 and France\u2019s Oscar Couilleau, who is in the playoff, is No. 33); Florida commit Giuseppe Puebla (T-19), who qualified for this year\u2019s U.S. Open and is ranked just behind Russell in the junior rankings; Tennessee commit Ronin Banerjee (T-29); Florida commit Jessy Huebner (T-51), who like Mawhinney and Puebla is on the U.S. National Junior Team; Pepperdine signee Luke Ringkamp (T-51), who has two AJGA invitational wins in the last eight months; and Auburn signee Hampton Beebe (T-51), who caddied for Puebla in the same U.S. Open final qualifier that Woods looped for Russell.<\/p>\n
Among those missing the cut were incoming Georgia freshman Hamilton Coleman, who finished at 8 over to become the first defending champion to miss the cut at the U.S. Junior since at least 2002 (the USGA\u2019s recordkeeping of full U.S. Junior results starts in 2002).<\/p>\n
Florida signee Jackson Ormond, who also qualified for last month\u2019s U.S. Open, shot 7 over and was among the MCs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charlie Woods\u2019 U.S. Junior Amateur will continue into a third day.
