Tiger Woods falls agonizingly short of dream win on return to golf with son Charlie

Tiger Woods and his son Charlie, 15, lost a playoff to Bernhard Langer and his son Jason at the PNC Championship on Sunday. Bernhard, 67, sank the winning putt to defeat Tiger and Charlie in Florida, but the duo that the crowd so desperately wanted to emerge victorious still had plenty to be positive about.

'It was awesome, no one made a mistake today. It's the most fun I've ever had,' Charlie said. Woods had a sixth surgery on his back in September and speaking Friday, was keen to downplay any hopes anyone had that he and Charlie could be the winners by Sunday night. But for so long on Sunday, it looked like it was written in the stars.

Earlier in the day, Charlie hit his first ever hole-in-one on the par-3 fourth hole, sparking wild celebrations. The pair were already sitting pretty among the leaders of the tournament when the teenager stepped up to take his tee shot. Tiger Woods finished second at the PNC Championship on Sunday with his son Charlie.

Earlier in the day, the 15-year-old Charlie hit his first hole-in-one with his dad alongside him. Woods had his daughter, Sam, as caddie on Sunday for the tournament in Florida. Incredibly, it landed a few feet in front of the hole and then bounced straight down the cup - much to the surprise of Charlie himself.
Back on the fourth tee, he looked around in shock, asking whether the ball had gone in. When he was told that it had, dad Tiger was the first on the scene to congratulate him. The famous pair then had a bear hug on the tee, with Tiger looking delighted at his son's achievement.
