Charlie Woods will need a stronger second round to keep his hopes alive at the Junior PGA Championship after opening with a 3-over-par 75 on Tuesday that left him narrowly above the projected cut line in Frisco, Texas.
The 17-year-old son of Tiger Woods is tied for 53rd after the opening round on Fields Ranch East Course.
With only the top 60 players and ties advancing after 36 holes, Woods remains in contention, although the projected cut currently includes 71 players heading into Wednesday's second round on the West Course.
Woods entered the tournament looking to improve on last year's tie for ninth, the best finish of his junior career at the event.
His round got off to a difficult start with bogeys on two of his first four holes, and further trouble came with a double bogey on the par-4 ninth.
