Tiger Woods isn't the only member of his family who can produce big moments, it seems, as his 15-year-old son Charlie made his first hole-in-one in the PNC Championship.
The proud Woods looked more excited on Sunday than if he had made the ace himself.
Charlie Woods hit his 7-iron from 175 yards on the par-three fourth hole at the Ritz-Carlton Club Orlando during the final round of the tournament that pairs mostly major champions with their family members.
Neither dad nor son even knew it had gone in the hole.
A large gallery by the green began wildly cheering, as did another group of fans on the other side of the hole, most of them holding up their index finger — some downward to indicate it went in the hole, some upward to show his score.
Television cameras finally confirmed it for him, and a laughing Woods wrapped Charlie in a warm embrace before playfully shoving him away.
"First one," Charlie smiled as cameras surrounded him.
"It was a perfect seven-iron, so just kind of hit it," he later told Golf Channel.
"Down off the left, a little cut seven. It was awesome. I didn't think it went in. I don't believe anybody until I go up there and see it!"
Better yet, it gave them a temporary share of the lead in the fifth straight year that Woods and his son have played the 36-hole tournament.
