Charlie Woods qualifies for next month's U.S. Junior Amateur at Oakland Hills, Michigan

Charlie Woods is a winner once again.

The teenage son of 15-time major winner Tiger Woods carded a 1-under 71, to finish first in the U.S. Junior Amateur Qualifier on Wednesday.

Woods, who won his first high school golf state title in November, has a little over a month before he heads to the U.S. Junior Amateur at Oakland Hills Country Club in Michigan, which will host the championship from July 22-27.

“It feels amazing to qualify for my first USGA championship," Charlie Woods said. "I’m excited to compete in the U.S. Junior Amateur next month, especially somewhere as historic as Oakland Hills.”

Seventy-five golfers from around the globe gathered Wednesday at Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs. After opening his round with a bogey and double bogey on the first two holes, Woods carded five birdies and just one bogey the rest of the way. The Benjamin High School student credited his putting to finish as the medalist.

“I didn’t play great my first two holes, but I played really good for the last 16," he said. "I just told myself not to make any more bogeys or doubles and I took advantage of some nice birdie looks when I had them. Putting was my biggest strength today. I made a lot of putts when I needed to.”

Woods will join the 264-player field in Michigan that will begin with two rounds of stroke play (one on the South Course and one on the North Course) on July 22-23 before the low 64 scorers advance to the match play portion of the championship to be contested on the South Course. He'll be competing against the world's top golfers under the age of 19. Should he medal out of the Top 64 in match-play, Woods will qualify for his first major tournament - the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont.

His last time attempting to qualify for the U.S. Open came in April at the Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie. Woods shot a 9-over 81.

Of course, Charlie has a long way to catch dad. Tiger won six straight USGA championships: The Junior Amateur (1991-93) and the U.S. Amateur (1994-96).
