Charlie Woods, the 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods, failed in his first attempt to qualify for a U.S. Open, shooting a 9-over 81 on Thursday. The teen's scorecard included one birdie, four bogeys and three double bogeys at the Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida. He shot a 40 on the front side and 41 on the back nine. Woods finished 61st in a field of 74. Only the top-five finishers and two alternates advance out of local qualifying.

Maybe he’s not a superstar, but 81 is pretty dang good for a real score by 15 year old on a true championship course.

The kid is 15 years old and he was not afraid to go out there and compete. I admire that regardless of his score.

Charlie Woods is just 15. Give him some time, IF golf is what he wants to devote his life to. It's never fair to compare generations after great champions. I knew a few in my time. Let children develop naturally. (I don't know how Formula 1 multiple champion Max Verstappen descended from the mediocre Jos, best known for the most impressive pit fire ever seen. Accidents happen. I mean genetically. Max is amazing. Jos was not. Get lost, obtrusive dad.)

My best score was a 76, best round I ever shot and still have the card, shot a few 78-70 and a bunch of low 80s when I played all the time. But that was from the Regular Men's tee (white), From the Blues I broke 90 once, playing the strict rules of golf. A 81 from the pro tees on a championship course is very good especially for a 15 year old. I heard Tiger say that Charlie can out drive him sometime.

My best round was 61, or ten under par, including a ball out of bounds early in the round that kept me from breaking 60. Although I don't play anymore because of fourteen long screws in my lumbat and cervical spine, I am a professional golfer, and golf is my game. At one time, I was a fair player. Memories now.

Great shooting, Poster 16. You have me by a dozen. I had a 6-7 footer on final hole for a par round of 72. Reached for the ball, but it did 360 degree lip out and stopped 1/2 inch short. Golf Gods sent a reminder. The Riverton (WY) Golf Club is a good test. Long time site of U.S. Open Local Qualifier.

Re #17: We both succumbed to Captain Justice, the god of golf. He gets us all, leads us to humility. No one other than Kim Jong-il has ever had a perfect round. Oddly enough, it's the bad shots throughout my career that I remember more vividly than the good ones. Fifty years later, the losses--there weren't many of those--still sting. They're hard to get over. Competition at both amateur and professional levels was an incredibly intense experience. It's to live for. The golf course was my office, a place where I belonged.

I’ve shot 71! My best round! Have also shot lots of 81’s and worse! I’m no pro and I won’t ever be! Took lessons for two years from Mike Bender. He said he can’t stand there and drain 15 to 20 footers all day! That is what separates them from us!

The jury began deliberating April 18. After days of being unable to reach a verdict, the judge overseeing the trial declared a mistrial on Monday. The case centered around the death of Mexican national Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, who was found shot to death on Kelly's 170-acre cattle ranch near Keno Springs outside Nogales, Arizona, on Jan. 30, 2023.

The Huskies' Nika Mühl made it a one-point game after UConn forced a steal on Iowa, and they would get a chance to take the lead with just seconds left on the clock after forcing a Hawkeyes turnover. However, UConn's Aaliyah Edwards was called for a moving screen on Gabbie Marshall as Huskies star Paige Bueckers was trying to run around to get the ball for the potential game-winning shot.

Former Major League Baseball slugger Steve Garvey has moved ahead of U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff in California’s U.S. Senate primary – a significant feat despite the November runoff having already been determined. As of Wednesday morning, Garvey led Schiff by an incredibly slim margin of just 4,801 votes with more than 5 million votes tallied, about 85% of expected returns. Schiff, one of the leading Democrats in the U.S. House, will face Garvey, a Republican, in November to determine who succeeds the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

Police have charged Jose Antonio Ibarra with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, kidnapping, hindering a 911 call and concealing the death of another.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, is known as “Gig City,” not for its many live music venues, but for its role as the first city in the Western Hemisphere to offer 1 gigabit-per-second fiber internet service to residents and businesses, an honor that it claimed in 2010. In 2024, Chattanooga has come to be representative of a different movement—the labor movement in the South. An overwhelming vote by the city’s Volkswagen employees on April 19 to join the United Auto Workers (UAW) union was the first crack in a decades-long barrier holding back the labor movement south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Until now, the Chattanooga facility has been the only non-union Volkswagen plant worldwide.

Mashal Sherzad, 29, was fired from her position as the diversity, equity and inclusion manager at the University of Minnesota because of now seemingly deleted pictures that she accidentally uploaded onto her public social media of her posing in front of the controversial flag. Sherzad, who identified as Muslim, and who is in a relationship with a woman, began her role in October, 2023, and travelled to Barcelona to attend a pro-Palestinian rally just two months later.

President Biden took the stage at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday and cracked jokes about his old age. Biden spoke before a crowd of nearly 3,000 journalists, celebrities and Washington insiders at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., as hundreds of anti-Israel protesters rallied outside. The black-tie annual event gives Biden a major platform to speak to voters — and flex his sense of humor — while his approval rating sits at a historic low ahead of the November election. Biden, 81, made jokes to make light of voters’ concerns about electing him into office for another four years in his advanced age. The 2024 election is in full swing.
