Charlie Woods narrowly missed qualification for the US Open in the latest local qualifier, coming up one shot short of a playoff to advance to Final Qualifying. He shot an even-par 72 at Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs, Florida, with a costly double-bogey on the seventh that ultimately kept him from advancing. Five players at Eagle Trace earned the final advancement spots, and Woods finished tied for 10th, one stroke outside the playoff line.[1][2]
