The Junior Invitational at Sage Valley wrapped Saturday, and two of the event's biggest names struggled at the event. Charlie Woods — son of Tiger — and Kai Trump — granddaughter of President Donald Trump — both finished above par to end the tournament.
Woods finished at 11-over At the Junior Invitational, he placed joint-25th among 36 participants in the boys' category. Woods began with a sluggish performance, scoring an initial 78 points and ending up at six over par for the day. However, his game improved significantly over the following two rounds, where he recorded scores of 73 each time. On Saturday morning, Woods made a promising start despite encountering trouble after a bogey on the third hole; nonetheless, he managed to secure three birdies midway through the course, putting him two under par. Unfortunately, the latter part of the track was particularly tough for him, resulting in four bogeys and one double bogey. This led to a final score of 75, leaving him three over par overall.
United States amateur golf phenom Miles Russell finished first in the boys division, shooting 9-under at the event.
