The U.S. Junior Amateur Championship was inaugurated in 1948 and features the top American golfers under the age of 19, according to the United States Golf Association. The current No. 1 player in the world, Scottie Scheffler, is a former U.S. Junior Amateur champion from 2013.

Charlie Woods shot a 1-under par 71 on June 19 to win the qualifying event. His famous dad was there to watch him, a USGA official told The Athletic.

“I didn’t play great my first two holes, but I played really good for the last 16,” Charlie Woods 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.”

It's the latest milestone for the younger Woods. He helped his high school team at Florida's Benjamin School win a state championship last year as a 14-year-old freshman.

 

The 76th U.S. Junior Amateur Championship will be held at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan from July 22–27, 2024. The tournament will take place on the South Course and will be a match play event for junior boys

LETS GO CHARLIE!!!!
