All eyes were fixed on young Charlie's performance at the national tournament, alongside that of his caddy father. Organized by former PGA Tour player, Notah Begay III - a close friend of Tiger Woods, the event provided a rare opportunity to observe Charlie's game and his father's accompanying strides as he carried his son's bag for three rounds.

Although visibly nervous in the face of such scrutiny, Charlie's first round got off to a shaky start, with a double bogey. However, he battled on and managed to achieve scores of 73 and 74. Finally, the third and last round proved to be his triumph, with a stellar score of 68, and not a single bogey in sight. While his 17th place finish may have been less than satisfactory, there's no denying Charlie's progress, just like that of Tiger - who also showed improvements in his game over the course of the tournament. Lucky Cruz ultimately won the unofficial US 14 and under championship, but who knows? Perhaps he'll look back in years to come, recalling the time he bested both Charlie and Tiger combined.
