Charlie Woods’ run at the U.S. Junior Amateur came to a frustrating end Wednesday after a spectator’s camera click disrupted a crucial playoff shot, costing the 17-year-old golfer a chance to advance to match play.
The son of 15-time major champion Tiger Woods was competing at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he entered a sudden-death playoff with 13 other players battling for the final two spots in the tournament’s match-play round. Woods finished stroke play Tuesday tied for 63rd after shooting rounds of 76 and 70 across two courses for a 5-over total.
