CHARLIE WOODS – the 16-year-old son of golf legend Tiger – sunk his second hole-in-one on Sunday.
It was the super-talented teen’s second ace in just eight months, as he closes in on his dad’s record of 10.

The dream shot came in the third and final round of the Junior Players Championship at the iconic TPC Sawgrass course.
The wonderkid landed his first in December, when he was playing alongside his father at the 2024 PNC Championship.
But he did the double without his 49-year-old mentor at Sawgrass’ par-three 177-yard third hole.
The ace took Woods Jr to two-under par for his round.
He had started on the tenth hole, and had already got a par on the course’s infamous island par-three 17th.
Fans loved his understated reaction to the hole-in-one, with the teenager simply high-fiving his playing partners.
Then when reaching the green he casually strolled up to the cup and picked his ball out.
Woods later beamed as he posed for a photo with his hole-in-one ball.
Woods dropped two shots on the rest of his back nine to finish even par for the day.
It was a stunning end to the tough tournament that he struggled to start with.
On Friday he carded a four-over 76, opening with two bogeys, a birdie at the fourth steadied the ship, before three bogeys in a four-hole stretch meant Woods made the turn in a four-over-par 40.
Woods finished 16 shots behind winner Miles Russell, who shot 70 to win by two.
And he was matched by Guus Lafeber of the Netherlands who dropped an ace on the par-3 eighth and tied for 19th.
The second-generation swinger qualified for the US Junior Amateur in July and finished joint ninth at this month’s Junior PGA but missed out on qualifying for the Junior Ryder Cup.
Tiger is tied for the most PGA Tour wins on 81, with 15 Major wins and a billion-dollar empire.
