Charlie Woods is eliminated from the U.S. Junior Amateur after a fan’s phone photo interrupts his swing during a playoff at Saucon Valley, according to multiple outlets. Woods is attempting to advance to the 64-player match-play portion of the prestigious event. After his regulation rounds, he plays in a playoff that determines who qualifies for match play. While Woods is preparing for a swing during the playoff—described by several reports as occurring during the backswing or as a camera click while he is in the rough—a fan’s phone camera triggers and creates a disruption. Woods misses the cut for advancement as a result, with one report noting he needed to birdie the first playoff hole to keep his chances alive. Other coverage adds that in his first two attempts at the event, Woods shoots rounds of 82-80 and 80-74 and does not come close to qualifying directly for match play. The reports agree that the distraction occurs during the playoff and that Woods’ effort to earn a spot in match play ends there.
