    Tiger Woods' son Charlie Woods hits hole-in-one, followed by Paddy Harrington

    Charlie Woods — who hit his first career hole-in-one to the delight of his dad Tiger — was not the only son of a major winner to come up aces on the day.


    Tiger Woods isn't the only member of his family that can produce big moments. 

    His 15-year-old son Charlie made his first ace on Sunday in the PNC Championship.

    And proud father Woods, playing his first tournament since the Open in July, seemed more excited than if he had made the hole-in-one himself.

    Charlie Woods hit a seven-iron from 175 yards on the par-3 fourth hole at the Ritz-Carlton Club Orlando during the final round of the tournament that pairs mostly major champions with family members.

    At first, he didn't even know it went in the hole. 

    "It was a perfect seven-iron, so just kind of hit it," Charlie Woods told the Golf Channel.

    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.

    "It was awesome. I didn't think it went in. I don't believe anybody until I go up there and see it," Charlie added.

    Woods gave a hard embrace to his son, then playfully shoved him away.

    "First one," Charlie said as cameras surrounded him.

    Better yet, it gave them a temporary share of the lead.

    This is the fifth straight year Woods and his son are playing the 36-hole tournament.

    Incredibly, it was not the last ace to be scored by the son of a golf legend on the day.

    Just half an hour after Charlie Woods holed out, Paddy Harrington — the 21-year-old whose father Pádraig is a three-time major winner — aced the eighth hole.

    "I've never hit a shot and been that excited before," Pádraig Harrington said.
