Charlie, the son of Tiger Woods, achieves his first hole-in-one before losing in the play-offs

Tiger Woods’ son Charlie made his first-ever hole-in-one in the final round of the PNC Championship, but missed out on the title in the play-off.

Bernhard Langer holed an eagle putt on the first extra hole to successfully defend the title with his son Jason after the two teams finished tied at 28 under par.

Charlie’s ace came on the fourth hole at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando.

“It was awesome, I didn’t think it went in,” Charlie told Golf Channel after holed with a seven-iron from 175 yards.

Speaking after the round, the teenager added: “No one made a mistake today, so it was the most fun I’ve ever had, plus I scored an ace . I don’t think I can do better.

Tiger added: “It was one of the highlights we’ve ever had.

“On the previous hole, he made his first eagle and now he has just made his first hole-in-one. It was a magical two-hole stretch – I’m so happy for him and the fun we had as a family. It was a lot of fun.

Woods, who also had his daughter Sam as a caddy, was playing for the first time since undergoing back surgery in September, but played down the significance of his return to action.

“I’m far from being in competitive shape,” the 48-year-old said. “I’m a great Scramble partner. We made a great team this week and it’s a joy.

About 30 minutes after Charlie Woods completed his hole-in-one, Paddy Harrington – the son of three-time major winner Padraig Harrington – also recorded an ace on the eighth hole.
