The 14-year-old’s victory at the 14-15 division of the event saw him qualify for the Notah Begay III Junior Golf Championship at Coushatta, where the father-son duo was witnessed, once more, engaging in a practice round.

However, the appearance of the 15X major champion did raise a lot of curiosity as TWLEGION, a fan page dedicated to Woods uploaded a post regarding the same.
