Charlie Woods Falls Short In US Open Qualifying | Golf Monthly
The 16-year-old shot a three-over-par 75 in his bid to make the field for Oakmont next month
www.golfmonthly.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent coverage:
-
Charlie Woods has repeatedly come up short in US Open qualifying in recent years, with reports in 2025 indicating another failed attempt at the local qualifier stage. This pattern was echoed again in 2026 coverage, describing a close miss but no advancement to final qualifying.[1][2][3][8]
-
The most recent accounts note Woods shooting around par or a few strokes over, finishing just outside the playoff spots that would push him into Final Qualifying, with five players earning those final spots in some of the 2026 qualifyings.[2][3]
-
Context on the process: US Open qualifying spans many local sites, culminating in Final Qualifying (Golf’s Longest Day) where players must complete 36 holes to secure a berth; Woods’ recent attempts have fallen short at the local stage rather than reaching Final Qualifying.[7][1]
If you’d like, I can pull the exact scores from the most recent qualifier rounds and summarize them in a compact table, or fetch up-to-date links from reliable outlets. Please tell me which format you prefer (brief recap, bullet timeline, or a small table with scorecard details).
