Team Woods set a record for birdies but came up just short of the top prize at the PNC Father-Son Challenge last Saturday and Sunday in Orlando, Fla.
Dressed alike in Nike red and black gear, Tiger Woods and his 12-year-old son, Charlie, finished two strokes behind the winning duo of John Daly and his son, John II.
Overall, Team Woods was 25 under par in the scramble 36-hole format. At one point in the final round, the Woodses posted 11 straight birdies, a PNC record.
No individual scores are registered in a scramble format as players alternate hitting shots.
Tiger Woods, arguably the greatest golfer in history, was making his first competitive appearance since suffering serious leg injuries in February in an auto accident. He labored at times walking, and winced on a few occasions on his follow-through swing.
The 45-year-old negotiated most of the course in a motorized cart but walked the final 200 yards on the 18th fairway Sunday to a cheering crowd.
