The pair of
Tiger Woods
and his son
Charlie
finished in seventh place on Sunday at the PNC Championship family tournament in Orlando, Florida, where
Justin Thomas
and his father
Mike
prevailed
.
At just 11 years old, Charlie Woods was the youngest participant in the history of the tournament and the great sensation of this edition, in which he achieved blows that astonished even his father.
"I don't think words can describe this," admitted the 15-time Grand Slam champion.
"Just the fact that we have been able to have this experience together, Charlie and I, is a memory for our whole lives," added the Californian, also father of
Sam
, 13, the result of his marriage to
Elin Nordegren
, of whom divorced in 2010 after a sex scandal.
The Woods team, who wore the same wardrobe again, this time black pants and a red shirt, finished in seventh place out of the 20 participating couples at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando.
Charlie, whose
swing
style is
reminiscent of his father's, raised praise throughout the week, especially after
Saturday's
eagle hitting
a
159-meter
drive
.
Great birdie on the 10th hole
On Sunday, Charlie
birdied
the 10th hole which he celebrated with a typical Woods-style punch into the air.
"He's not going to appreciate this at age 11," Tiger said.
"I didn't do it when I was with my father. As the years go by, you start to appreciate him more."
The pair signed two rounds of 62 shots for a total of 124, five away from the winning duo of Thomas, number three in the ranking, and his father.
In second place, the Fijian
Vijay Singh
and his son
Qass finished
