Charlie Woods fell short in his first-ever attempt to qualify for a U.S. Open on Thursday.
The 15-year-old, whose father is three-time U.S. Open winner Tiger Woods, shot a 9-over 81 at the qualifier at The Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie, Fla., Golfweek reported.
The U.S. Open is scheduled for June 13-16 at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club No. 2 in North Carolina. Players who aren’t tour pros can attempt to enter the tournament through local qualifiers, as Charlie Woods did.
The teen’s scorecard included one birdie, four bogeys and three double bogeys, per Golfweek. He shot a 40 on the front side and 41 on the back nine.
It’s been a busy stretch of golf for the younger Woods. He won a state high school championship with his team in Florida last fall, and in February, he played in a qualifying event for the PGA Tour’s Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, a tournament formerly known as the Honda Classic.
He shot a 16-over 86 at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Fla., and did not qualify.
