The younger Woods did show improvement, however.

Last year, he fired a 9-over 81 at The Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie, Fla. He rebounded to qualify for the U.S. Junior Amateur, however he missed the cut at that tournament by 18 strokes.

Arth Sinha finished atop the heap in the U.S. Open qualifying at 6-under 66, one stroke better than Matthew Marigliano.

Sorry Charlie!

The 15-year-old son of 15-time major champion Tiger Woods carded a 12 at the par-4 seventh hole and finished 16-over 86 on Thursday at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Fla. The pre-qualifying event was one of four for the PGA Tour’s Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, a tournament formerly known as the Honda Classic.

The younger Woods was 4-over par through his first six holes. He rebounded from a disastrous performance on the seventh to piece together six straight pars before recording a double-bogey on No. 14.

One of Woods’ playing partners was Olin Browne Jr., who is the son of the three-time PGA Tour winner by the same name. He carded a 2-over 72 on Thursday.

The top 25 finishers and ties will advance to the event’s Monday qualifier at the Tesoro Club’s Palmer Course in Port St. Lucie, Fla. From there, four players will earn a spot in the field for the Cognizant Classic on Feb. 29-March 3 at PGA National Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
