Charlie Woods speaks out about his ace at the 2024 PNC Championship

On the 176-yard long par three fourth hole at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club, Charlie Woods recorded his first career ace to put him and Tiger in the lead. With a seven iron in his hand, the 15-year-old started the ball left of the pin and asked it to cut mid-air, to which it obliged.

As the crowd erupted with joy, Charlie was in disbelief. Tiger was in awe of his son's achievement and went over to hug him before playfully shoving him to convey his joy.

Speaking with the Golf Channel, here's what the amateur had to say about the moment (via PGA Tour):

"It was a perfect 7-iron, so just kind of hit it. Down off the left, a little cut 7. It was awesome. I didn’t think it went in. I don’t believe anybody until I go up there and see it.”

The ace leaves Team Woods taking the solo lead at the 2024 PNC Championship with a score of 23 under par, with seven holes left to be played.
