  • Charlie Woods finished tied for ninth place at the 49th Junior PGA Championships.
  • Woods shot a final round of 3-over 74, ending the tournament 9-under par.
  • He started the final round tied for second but fell back after a double bogey on the 15th hole.

Charlie Woods wrapped up his final round and secured a top-10 finish on Friday at the 49th Junior PGA Championships.

Woods, a rising junior at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida, and son of legendary golfer Tiger Woods, shot 3-over 74 at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex's Ackerman-Allen Course in West Lafayette, Indiana.

He finished the tournament 9 under and tied for ninth place, 10 shots back of winner Lunden Esterline.

Woods, 16, entered the round tied for second and in contention for one of two United States Junior Ryder Cup team spots available to the tournament winner and runner-up but he was unable to replicate the bounty of birdies he amassed in the second and third rounds, however.

Woods spent much of the round hovering near even-par before carding a double bogey on hole No. 15.

The Junior PGA Championships are comprised of two 72-hole stroke play tournaments for boys and girls junior amateur golfers. This year's boys and girls tournaments each featured 156 golfers, respectively.
