Charlie Woods Suffers Another Blow With Missed Cut At Junior PGA Championship

Charlie Woods at the Junior PGA Championship .

Charlie Woods shot a five-over round of 77 to miss the 54-hole cut at the Junior PGA Championship in Texas.

Woods made the traditional 36-hole cut at Frisco Fields Ranch after shooting 75-70 for a one-over total for two rounds, but there's also a third-round cut at the Junior PGA Championship.

A round of 77 saw Woods drop to six over for the tournament, with the cut mark after 54 holes coming at level par.

The 17-year-old son of 15-time Major champion Tiger Woods was just one over at the turn but struggled on the back nine with a double bogey at the 10th before three more bogeys in a row.

Charlie finished with seven bogeys and that double overall, cancelling out his three birdies on the day - two of which came on the final two holes as he showed admirable fighting spirit to at least finish on a high.

Jaden Soong led by two shots going into the final round after shooting 69 to get to eight under, with halfway leader Kailer Stone carding a disappointing 75 to drop into a tie for second with Ainslie Stanford.

It was another disappointment for Woods Jr though, who managed a T9 finish in last year's Junior PGA Championship but has had some mixed results recently.

Woods made another flying finish at the US Junior Amateur to make a playoff for the matchplay section, but missed out one of the two spots in a 14-man battle in frustrating fashion.

Woods was unhappy after he duffed a chip when a camera phone shutter sound clicked during his backswing.

Ahead of his senior year at the Benjamin School, before Woods heads off to college at Florida State, he also recently just missed out on qualifying for the US Amateur.

As a junior, Woods helped Benjamin win the State Championship and has shown flashes of his talent while also suffering some disappointing results - which is all par for the course during a life in competitive golf.
