Camera-click disruption ends Charlie Woods' bid at U.S. Junior Amateur
Charlie Woods failed to reach the 64‑player match‑play bracket at the 2026 U.S. Junior Amateur after a playoff for two spots. The 17‑year‑old, son of Tiger Woods, was disrupted when a camera phone clicked during his third‑shot swing on the first playoff hole at Saucon Valley's Grace Course, resulting in a bogey. Eli Wessel and Hudson Kutchma advanced to the second playoff hole and ultimately into match play, leaving Woods short of qualification in what was his closest run to the event's match‑play portion in three attempts.
