Charlie Woods: Tiger Woods’ son delivers magic moment with first hole-in-one at PNC Championship
Tiger Woods isn’t the only member of his family who can produce big moments, it seems, as his 15-year-old son Charlie made his first hole-in-one in the PNC Championship.

Charlie Woods hit his 7-iron from 175 yards on the par-three fourth hole at the Ritz-Carlton Club Orlando during the final round of the tournament that pairs mostly major champions with their family members.

A large gallery by the green began wildly cheering, as did another group of fans on the other side of the hole, most of them holding up their index finger — some downward to indicate it went in the hole, some upward to show his score.
Television cameras finally confirmed it for him, and a laughing Woods wrapped Charlie in a warm embrace before playfully shoving him away.
“First one,” Charlie smiled as cameras surrounded him.
“It was a perfect seven-iron, so just kind of hit it,” he later told Golf Channel.
“Down off the left, a little cut seven. It was awesome. I didn’t think it went in. I don’t believe anybody until I go up there and see it!”
Better yet, it gave them a temporary share of the lead in the fifth straight year that Woods and his son have played the 36-hole tournament.
