SHOCKING : Charlie Woods has been suspended from all Golf activities due to serious Allegations involving a minor .
Charlie Woods, the 15-year-old son of 15-time major winner Tiger Woods, fired a 10-over par 80 on Tuesday and missed the cut at the US Junior Amateur championship.
The teen Woods, who opened with an 82 on Monday, made one birdie, four bogeys, two double bogeys and a triple to finish on 22-over 162 for 36 holes at Oakland Hills Country Club in suburban Detroit.
He finished near the bottom in the field of 264 golfers, 18 strokes off the pace of 64 players who qualified for match-play competition.
Tiger Woods walked the course watching his son but tournament rules prevented him from serving as Charlie’s caddie.
The winner of Saturday’s 36-hole final captures a berth in the 2025 US Open at Oakmont.
Tiger Woods won the US Junior Amateur in 1991, 1992 and 1993. The only other player to win the crown more than once was Jordan Spieth in 2009 and 2011.
The elder and younger Woods have teamed up at the PNC Championship the past four years, finishing as the runners-up in the parent-child event in 2021.
Olympic champion Lydia Ko battled to the top of the leaderboard with a four-under-par 68 after the third round of the HSBC Women’s World Championship on Saturday in Singapore.
The New Zealander holds a one-shot advantage over England’s flu-hit Charley Hull with a three-day total of 10-under-par 206 at Sentosa Golf Club.
Thailand’s Jeeno Thitikul stormed into contention with the day’s lowest score of 66 to trail Ko by three with 18 holes left to play at the second stop of the LPGA Asian swing.
Making her 11th appearance at the event where her best result came in 2015 in finishing second, Ko is looking forward to finally getting the job done on Sunday.
“I’m excited to be in the final group tomorrow. I’ve been in the final group a couple times at this event before and I haven’t necessarily taken it over the finish line,” said the world number three.
“I hope tomorrow is the day to do it.”
Hull is bracing for a showdown with Paris Olympic gold medallist Ko after shrugging off the flu to post a bogey-free 68.
“I woke up this morning and threw up. It was just a little bit of a bug but I’m fine,” said Hull.
“I like playing with Lydia. She’s a really nice person and so down to earth. I want to go out there, play golf, hole some putts and have fun.”
Jeeno was in red-hot form as she stormed back into contention after two lacklustre rounds of 71 and 72.
The Thai entered the round tied for 16th but jumped 13 places after carding seven birdies and one bogey, on the ninth hole.
“I did not want to think too much about the first two rounds. I was just trying to keep my ball in the fairway today and giving myself birdie chances,” said the 22-year-old.
South Korea’s Kim A-lim, who topped the leaderboard at the halfway stage, fell into a tie for fourth after carding a 73.
Also lurking on six-under after three rounds was Australia’s Minjee Lee.
