Charlie Woods may be only 14 years old, but he’s been hitting his driver like his dad used to at the peak of his powers.
During the PNC Championship, Charlie was not only long with his driver – but he was accurate as well.
That included one moment when he bombed his tee shot and then waved it goodbye as it landed perfectly in the fairway.
Team Woods played well on the first day of the two-day tournament – with Charlie hitting fairway after fairway.
However, the best the father-son pairing of Charlie and Tiger Woods only led to a finish of eight-under-par for the day.

It’s something that Charlie lamented once the round finished up and he spoke to reporters.
‘I mean, I drove the ball really good today – I didn’t miss a fairway – and we still managed to shoot eight-under,’ Charlie remarked, adding, ‘We just suck at putting.’
Tiger agreed, following up his son’s comments by saying that he ‘summed it up right there’.
Saturday was a bit more of a family affair for the Woods clan than normal – with Tiger’s daughter Sam seen caddying for him during the tournament.
Team Woods is tied for eleventh at the PNC, which is currently being led by Matt Kuchar and his son Cameron 15-under.
Three strokes behind them is a four-way tie for second with the father-son combos of Bernhard and Jason Langer, Vijay and Qass Singh, Retief and Leo Goosen, and David and Brady Duval.
After a rain-soaked Round One, the second round tees off from Florida later on Sunday.
