Charlie Woods dropped into a tie for ninth on the final day of the Junior PGA Championship, which took him out of the running for a qualifying spot for the US Junior Ryder Cup team on Friday.<\/p>\n
The 16-year-old son of Tiger Woods shot back-to-back 66s in the second and third rounds at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex in West Lafayette, Ind., and was tied for second place entering the final round.<\/p>\n
But he posted a final-round 74 at the Ackerman-Allen course on Friday, with three bogeys and a double bogey over his final 10 holes.<\/p>\n
The Junior Ryder Cup will take place 23-25 September at Bethpage Black and Nassau Country Club, just ahead of the senior event between the US and Team Europe that weekend.<\/p>\n
There is also one captain\u2019s pick for the team, although Woods is likely not in line to be selected for it.<\/p>\n
Lunden Esterline was the runaway winner of the Junior PGA Championship with a final score of 19-under-par 266 (featuring a second-round 62).<\/p>\n
Giuseppe Puebla shot a final-round 64 to rocket into a tie for second at 13 under with Tyler Mawhinney (69). In doing so, Puebla received the other automatic qualifying spot for the Junior Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n
Esterline, from Andover, Kansas, is a 2027 Auburn commit. Puebla, from Royal Palm Beach, Florida, is also part of the Class of 2027 and uncommitted for college.<\/p>\n
Charlie Woods finished 9 under for the week, 10 off Esterline\u2019s pace and four strokes out of the running for a Ryder Cup qualifying spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
