The 15-year-old who is the son of Tiger Woods was attempting to clear the first hurdle for the US Open at Pinehurst this July.

Woods finished nine-over in local qualifying in Florida with only the top-5 progressing to the final qualifying stage.

Woods’ round of 81 saw him finish in a tie for 59th place out of 84 players.

The teenager carded one birdie, four bogeys and three double bogeys, with nines of 40 and 41.
