Charlie Woods is motivated to achieve a big success in the fight for the state title in Florida, and he started with a score of 74. Charlie plays for Benjamin School at the Florida Class 1A State Championship. The two-day, 36-hole competition is played on the El Campen course, a course considered by many to be one of the toughest and most challenging.
The 16-year-old golfer had some great moments, but also some less successful ones, and is currently in the T19.
However, the main goal seems to be winning the state title, with competition between Palm Beach Benjamin, Orlando Circle Christian, and Orlando First Academy. For now, First Academy leads at 1-under 287, one shot ahead of Benjamin School and two shots ahead of Circle Christian heading into today's final round.
Benjamin School has many talents, and one of the biggest is certainly Aleksandar Tsar, who shot 68 and is currently leader of this team, being at the top together with Mingbo Jiang.

Charlie's season
Charlie had many great moments during this season, and the fact that he was selected to the first All-American team by the AJGA speaks volumes about his qualities. Charlie also won the Team TaylorMade Invitational, with a highlight of a hole-in-one at TPC Sawgrass.These are good signs for his future, no doubt about it.
Tiger Woods is an important figure for him on this journey, with the hope that he will have at least an approximately good career. The experienced golfer emphasizes that Charlie should not be under a lot of pressure, but should be allowed to enjoy the game and be completely free.
It is unlikely that the teenager will be able to escape the pressure that comes from the public, as well as from the media. But he certainly has the necessary mental strength to cope with such challenges and to confidently enter professional golf.
