Charlie Woods' hopes of qualifying for the 2024 US Open have ended at the first hurdle after he shot a round of 81 at The Legacy Golf and Tennis Club.
As the son of golfing icon Tiger Woods, Charlie's young career has been closely monitored by fans of the sport.
The father-son duo have competed alongside each other at four PNC Championships and Charlie got his first taste of a PGA Tour qualifying event at the pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic earlier this year.
He fell short on that occasion after shooting 16-over par, but it's clear the teenager has his eyes set on following in the footsteps of his famous father.

At 15 years of age, Charlie was among the 10,000-plus entrants attempting to qualify for this year's US Open.
The huge qualifying event begins with local qualifiers across the United States at 109 sites between April 22-May 20.
Charlie took part in the 18-hole local qualifier in Port St. Lucie, Florida, as part of the 84-player field.
The top-five finishers after 18 holes would progress to the second and final qualifying stage, which takes places over 36 holes at 10 USA and three international sites.
Charlie got off to a slow start as he opened up with a bogey and a double bogey before making the turn at four-over par.
The teenager carded another double bogey on the back nine along with three bogeys to finish nine-over par for the round.
That placed him tied-66th at the time his round ended with just under 10 players under par.
Michael Buttacavoli topped the field after shooting a three-under par round of 69.

The 36-year-old made headlines seven years ago on a different attempt to qualify for the US Open.
He was preparing for the US Open sectional qualifier when he took a flight from Ecuador to Miami for the event.

However, Buttacavoli was forced to withdraw from the event before even making it to the tee.
After unboarding from the plane, the golfer was given the devastating news that American Airlines lost his clubs.
He had the option of using rented clubs, but said it was too late after the time he had wasted at the airport.
