Of all the accomplishments in his long and decorated career, Tiger Woods never once won a state golf championship in high school.

Now, his son Charlie Woods has something to one-up his dad. 

Charlie shot a 78-76 over the course of two days while playing for The Benjamin School as his teammates won the FHSAA Class A boys golf state championship on Wednesday at Mission Inn Resort in Howey-In-The-Hills, Florida.

The 14-year-old Charlie was the fourth-best player on the five-man golf team and finished T-26 overall.

The Benjamin School clinched the title after sophomore Jake Valentine carded a birdie on hole 17 and sank a title-winning putt on the last hole.

Tiger watched on and cheered for Charlie throughout the tournament – where his son did something he never did while attending Western High School in Anaheim, California.

At the time, the California Interscholastic Federation did not conduct a state championship.

Instead, he won the CIF’s SoCal Regional in 1991 and earned the title of Southern Section medalist in 1991, 1993, and 1994.
