(Reuters) - Tiger Woods has enjoyed a dominant
golfing career but added a new memory after he and 11-year-old
son Charlie finished five shots back of world number three
Justin Thomas and his father during an exhibition event in
Orlando, Florida, on Sunday.
Team Woods, both wearing Tiger's signature Sunday red and black,
placed seventh among a 20-team field of major champions and
winners of The Players alongside a family member for the two-day
PNC Championship at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club.
"I don't think words can describe it," 15-times major champion
Woods said of competing alongside his son. "Just the fact that
we were able to have this experience together, Charlie and I,
it's memories for a lifetime."
Charlie, the youngest competitor in the tournament's history and
perhaps its most anticipated, showcased impressive form at the
scramble event and on several occasions looked every part his
father as he worked his way around the course.
During his team's closing 10-under-par 62, Charlie rolled in a
birdie at the par-four 10th and then unleashed a vintage
low-uppercut Tiger fist pump that the golf world has seen
countless times before.
Team Thomas began their day with seven consecutive birdies en
route to a 15-under-par 57 that brought them 25 under, one shot
clear of Vijay Singh and son Qass.
