Your support makes all the difference.Tiger Woods isn't the only member of his family to can produce big moments. His 15-year-old son Charlie made his first ace Sunday in the PNC Championship.
Woods was more excited than if he had made the hole-in-one himself.
Charlie Woods hit 7-iron from 175 yards on the par-3 fourth hole at the Ritz-Carlton Club Orlando during the final round of the tournament that pairs mostly major champions with family members.
He didn't even know it went in the hole. 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.
Woods gave a hard embrace to his son, then playfully shoved him away.
"First one,” Charlie said as cameras surrounded him.
Better yet, it gave them a temporary share of the lead. This is the fifth straight year Woods and his son are playing the 36-hole tournament.
