ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Justin Thomas and Tiger Woods traded text messages on the eve of the final round at the PNC Championship, their teams tied for the lead and in contention. Neither mentioned winning.
This was about Woods getting to play alongside 11-year-old son Charlie, watching him twirl the club after a good drive and yes, even deliver a fist pump in his red shirt Sunday. For Thomas, it was about competing with his father, Mike, a longtime club professional in Kentucky and the only coach he’s ever had.

Justin Thomas and his father, Mike, won the PNC Championship on Sunday, but they were hardly the story at the annual family event. Tiger Woods and his son Charlie shot their second straight 62 on Sunday, and again got the lion s share of the coverage.
Team Woods finished seventh, five back of Team Thomas. Charlie was again terrific on Sunday, and dad even chipped in a pair of eagle putts as that duo posted a 29 coming home though I m guessing nobody is going to ever remember what the scores were.

“I don’t think words can describe it,” Woods said. “Just the fact that we were able to have this experience together, Charlie and I, it’s memories for our entire lives.”
