Charlie Woods failed to qualify for the U.S. Open on May 5 at Wellington National.
The son of Tiger Woods shot a 3-over 75 on the 18-hole championship golf course designed by two-time Major Champion Johnny Miller.
Meanwhile, four South Florida golfers qualified to advance to the next stage: Arth Sinha of Melbourne, 6-under 66; Matthew Marigliano of Palm Beach Gardens, 5-under 67; and Tyler Stachkunas of Lake Worth and Carson Kiawonn of West Palm Beach, who both shot 4-under 68. The fifth golfer who advanced was Michael Gligic of Canada with a 68. Royal Palm Beach’s Giuseppe Puebla was the first alternate after shooting a 3-under 69.
The U.S Open is scheduled for June 12-15 at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania.
A year ago, Charlie Woods also came up short in his first attempt at qualifying for the U.S. Open. Woods, a member of Benjamin’s state championship golf team, finished with a 9-over 81 at the Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie in a U.S. Open qualifying tournament.
The five golfers who advanced next compete in a one-day, 36-hole final qualifier at Emerald Dunes in West Palm Beach on June 2. The USGA accepted a record 10,202 entries for the 2025 U.S. Open.
