Brandel Chamblee makes feelings clear on Charlie | Golf News

Golf commentator Brandel Chamblee did not mince phrases when assessing the expertise of Charlie Woods, the 16-year-old son of golf legend Tiger Woods.

The younger golfer clinched the largest win of his profession so far at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) on Wednesday.

Despite a shaky begin on the Black Course at Streamsong Resort, Woods rallied and ended with an spectacular remaining rating of 15-under par, outperforming 4 of the top-five ranked AJGA gamers.

With 4 consecutive pars to close the match, the younger prodigy gained by three strokes, leaving Luke Colton, Willie Gordon, and Phillip Dunham tied behind him.

Being the kid of a famend athlete at all times attracts consideration if you select to comply with in their footsteps, but being Tiger Woods’ son and selecting golf is a complete completely different ball recreation.

During the occasion, the official AJGA account posted a video of Woods’ swing, prompting one person to tag Chamblee and remark: “Eerily reminiscent of the great Adam Scott, agree?”

Chamblee, 62, responded affirmatively, expressing his perception in Woods’ potential by stating on social media: “Young Woods looks very good.”

DON’T MISS

“He’s tough on himself,” Harbeck remarked back in November. “If he could just relax and play, store some of that energy, it’s good. He’s just young. He’s got a lot of Dad in him.”

Echoing this sentiment, the golf icon himself believes his son would do nicely to emulate Masters icon Rory McIlroy’s method to mastering the right swing.

At the 2022 Hero World Challenge, he suggested: “I told [Charlie]: ‘Don’t copy my swing. Copy Rory’s.’ Have you ever seen Rory off balance in a shot?”.

“Not ever. That’s one of the things my dad instilled in me, is that you should be able to balance and hold your finish until the ball rolls and stops. You can swing as hard as you want, but you need to have balance.”
