ORLANDO - Tiger Woods was thrilled by son Charlie's first hole-in-one, but Team Langer got the better of the Woods duo in a play-off for the PNC Championship family golf event crown on Dec 22.
The ace by the 15-year-old at the 178-yard, par-three fourth hole at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando briefly lifted the duo into the solo lead in the 36-hole two-player scramble event.
The youngster watched his seven-iron shot as far as he could, but it took the cheers from the crowd to let him know it had landed some six feet from the pin and rolled into the cup.
His beaming father gave him a hard hug, then a playful shove in celebration.
"It was a perfect seven-iron, so just kind of hit it," Charlie Woods told Golf Channel as he walked towards the fourth green. "It was awesome. I didn't think it went in."
The elder Woods called it "an unbelievable moment".
"That two-hole stretch, that was his first eagle he ever made out there on three, and then his first hole-in-one," the 15-time Major champion said.
