Of all the accomplishments in his long and distinguished career, Tiger Woods has never won a state golf championship in high school.
Now his son Charlie Woods has something to do with his father.
Charlie shot a 78-76 over the course of two days playing for The Benjamin School as his teammates won the FHSAA Class A boys golf state championship on Wednesday at the Mission Inn Resort in Howey-In-The-Hills, Florida.
14-year-old Charlie was the fourth-best player on the five-man golf team, finishing T-26 overall.
The Benjamin School took the title after sophomore Jake Valentine carded a birdie on the 17th hole and sank a title-winning putt on the final hole.

Charlie did something his father, Tiger, never accomplished when he was in high school
Tiger watched and cheered on Charlie throughout the tournament – where his son did something he never did while at Western High School in Anaheim, California.
At the time, the California Interscholastic Federation did not host a state championship.
Instead, he won the CIF’s SoCal Regional in 1991 and earned the title of Southern Section medalist in 1991, 1993 and 1994.
Woods was also the then youngest golfer to win the US Junior Amateur in 1991.
