Charlie declined to comment on his performance, but his coach, Toby Harbeck, commended his determination, noting similarities between Charlie and his father’s competitive drive. “He’s tough on himself. If he could just relax and play, store some of that energy, it’s good,” Harbeck said.
During the final round of the tournament, Charlie achieved his first-ever hole-in-one, marking an extraordinary milestone. He executed the impressive shot on a par-3 hole with a 7-iron.
