"Charlie is mouthing off, 'Here I am a nine-year-old beating the No. 1 player in the world and supposedly the best player of all time.' He three-putted and I made it. Shut him up pretty quick."
The next competition will be on national TV. Woods and his son are among 20 teams in Orlando, Florida, for the PNC Championship that starts Saturday, a 36-hole event known for many years as the Father-Son Challenge.
