Charlie woods shoots 81, doesn't advance from u.s. open local qualifying in florida, share this article.

Charlie Woods is going to have to wait to play in the U.S. Open.

The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods played Thursday in local qualifying for the United States Golf Association’s national championship, set for June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. Charlie played at The Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and he shot 9-over 81.

Charlie’s round featured a bogey on his opening hole, the par-4 first. He then doubled the par-5 second. A pair of pars followed before his lone birdie on the front, but another double the next hole, the par-4 sixth, had him turn in 4-over 40.

On the back nine, he had another double, three bogeys and five pars for a 41.

Only the top-five placers and two alternates will advance out of local qualifying.

Earlier this year, Charlie played in a pre-qualifier for the PGA Tour’s Cognizant Classic, shooting 86 and failing to advance . A couple weeks ago, Charlie was seen with dad on the range at the Masters helping him with a swing drill.

Charlie was a part of his high school’s state championship-winning golf team in the fall, and he received his rings last month.

With his appearance in the PGA Tour pre-qualifier and U.S. Open local qualifying, it shouldn’t be surprising to see the young Woods attempt to qualify for the U.S. Junior Amateur at Oakland Hills or the U.S. Amateur at Hazeltine later this summer. His dad won both events three times.

• The Buzz on Florida Politics

Joe Biden is in Tampa today. Here’s what you need to know.

• Kirby Wilson Times staff
• Divya Kumar Times staff

President Joe Biden is making a campaign stop in Tampa this afternoon, where he plans to emphasize his support for abortion rights.

It will be the first official stop for the Biden campaign in the Tampa Bay area during the 2024 election season, and it comes as his campaign looks to make the case that an increasingly conservative Florida is still winnable for Democrats.

Here’s what you need to know about Biden’s appearance.

Where and when is the event?

Biden will speak about abortion rights at Hillsborough Community College’s Dale Mabry campus in Tampa, according to an event invite circulated to supporters of the president. Attendees have been asked to arrive between noon and 2 p.m., per the invitation.

Why Florida, and why now?

In a call with reporters Monday afternoon, Biden’s team emphasized that he plans to invest in Florida ahead of this November’s rematch against presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“With our enormous financial advantage, the Biden-Harris campaign can afford to invest in many paths to victory, and that includes Florida,” Biden spokesperson Michael Tyler said on the call.

At the same time that voters pick the next president, Floridians in November will decide on a ballot initiative that would enshrine abortion rights in the state Constitution. The Biden campaign is betting that abortion will prove to be a winning issue, highlighting the differences between Trump’s record on the issue and Biden’s.

For example, the Biden campaign is quick to note that Trump appointed three of the conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices who voted in 2022 to overturn federal abortion protections. As a result of that decision and the actions of Republican leaders, Florida is set to see a six-week abortion ban go into effect at the beginning of May.

“Trump will do everything he can to ban abortion nationwide,” Tyler said. “Whenever Trump has had power, he’s used it to take away rights from women.”

When asked about the Biden campaign’s criticisms, the Trump campaign said the president has made the country less safe for women.

“Joe Biden and the Democrats are radically out of touch with the majority of Americans in their support for abortion up until birth and even after birth and forcing taxpayers to fund it,” said Trump National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. (The Biden campaign has said it supports abortion until the point of fetal viability.)

Biden staffers are using Florida as an opportunity to talk about abortion as a national issue. The impending six-week abortion ban here will affect the entire southeast, Tyler noted on the call.

Will there be protesters?

Demonstrators who are against the United States’ support of Israel’s war on Hamas plan to make their voices heard today.

In an Instagram post last week, the Tampa Bay Area Dream Defenders called Biden “Genocide Joe,” writing, “The people of Tampa stand with Palestine and refuse to let this warmonger roam our streets!”

At least five other groups plan to have a presence as well: Tampa Bay Students for a Democratic Society, Tampa Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Young Lords Florida chapter and the Restorative Justice Coalition.

Several groups are planning to gather at the corner of Lois Avenue and Tampa Bay Boulevard at 1 p.m. today, according to a social media post.

Laura Rodriguez, an organizer with Tampa Bay Students for a Democratic Society, said Democrats need to replace Biden on the 2024 ballot.

“They need to pick a new candidate or suffer the consequences, Rodriguez said. “We’re done picking between the lesser of two evils.”

2024 NFL Mock Draft: Second Round Highlights Deep Wide Receiver Class

The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is in the books and there is a wealth of talent available on day two.

• Author: Tyler Forness

The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is in the books and it was a wild one. For the first time in NFL Draft history, five quarterbacks went in the top 10 and six quarterbacks went in the top 12 picks. It's the most valuable position on the football field so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise.

The second round is going to be a fascinating round. There is a lot of really good talent available, including some players who were at one point projected to go in the top 10 of the first round. The Buffalo Bills are set to kick off the round after trading down twice.

Which players had 'Top 30' visits with Buffalo Bills before the NFL Draft? What we know

A reported 18 2024 NFL Draft prospects RSVP'd to meet in-house with the Buffalo Bills in recent weeks as part of the team's "top 30 visits," which allow teams to get to better know up to 30 draft-eligible players.

Buffalo is tied for the league high with 10 picks in this year's draft, which begins Thursday in Detroit with the first round. The second-fourth rounds will be held Friday, and the fifth-seventh rounds Saturday.

The Bills will pick 28th overall, though general manager Brandon Beane could try to trade up . Many expect Buffalo to draft a wide receiver or two or three after it traded Stefon Diggs in early April.

What is a 'Top 30' NFL Draft visit?

Each team is allowed up meet in-house with up to 30 draft-eligible players. There are many restrictions on the visits. On-field workouts are not. Teams often use them for off-the-field tests, interviews, to review game film with players and for medical checkups.

The "top 30" aren't necessarily the 30 best players on the Bills' draft board, but rather players they wish to learn more about.
