The golf world has been rife with news related to the return of Tiger Woods to the course during the TGR Invitational held at Pebble Beach. Moreover, prior to the event, the golfer had taken to caddying for his son Charlie Woods in various tournaments. The iconic duo had, thus, been hogging all of the limelight for a while now.
Ian Poulter seems to be having a bumpy year, but the same cannot be said for his son, Luke Poulter. The LIV golfer’s oldest son had earlier made his first appearance as a Florida Gator at the Fighting Illini Invitational in Chicago, Illinois. Although he could only finish T44, it was a special occasion nonetheless. And now, the 47-year-old took to Instagram to share another piece of good news with his followers.
The 3X PGA Tour champ shared a story on his social media handle congratulating Luke for being dubbed the SEC Freshman of the Week. The teenager, who is part of the Florida Gators Men’s Golf Team, had a team- and career-best T11 finish at the Williams Cup not too long ago. The amateur golfer scored 218 (+2) over 54 holes in just his third straight start, thus cementing once again why he is dubbed a potential opponent for Charlie Woods.
The collegiate honor dragged him into the spotlight just when the son of his father’s rival was taking a break owing to the TGR Invitational. The teenage golfer is slowly building up his legacy in the game, much like the GOAT’s son, who won the Major Championship at Village Golf Course in Royal Palm Beach, Florida, last month.
Well, it takes a talented bunch of people to garner accolades through their exquisite gameplay and skills. However, while mentioning the two young spiritual rivals, one can’t help but bring in another youngster who outshines a lot of his peers.
Holden Bautista scored two aces in the same round at Pebble Beach in the presence of the legend of the game, Tiger Woods. The prodigy managed to do so at The Hay, a special 9-hole course designed by the Hall of Famer and TGR Designs.
One can’t help but look on in awe at the extraordinary talents showcased by the two golfers’ sons, along with the 11-year-old golfer. Well, it would be nothing short of an exciting future for the sport when all of them grow up to compete with each other.
