Charlie Woods' attempt to qualify for the US Open failed on Thursday after he shot a nine-over-par 81 at a local course in Florida.

The 15-year-old, son of the great Tiger Woods, began with a bogey and two double bogeys in his first six holes before dropping five more shots on the back nine at The Legacy Golf & Tennis Club.

At the time of writing, he sat in a tie for 66th place at the end of his round. Only the top five players - and two alternates - will advance from the local qualifying event.

This summer's US Open will take place at the historic Pinehurst No 2 in North Carolina on June 13-16.

Back in February, Charlie Woods shot 16-over as he bid to qualify for his first PGA Tour event.

He hoped to make it to the Cognizant Classic by playing in the pre-qualifier at the Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida.

Charlie played alongside Olin Browne Jr., the son of the three-time Tour winner, but  he bogeyed two of the four holes en route to carding an 86.

More recently, the 15-year-old joined his dad on the range at Augusta, even appearing to offer the 48-year-old some advice during The Masters.

The five-time Masters winner withdrew from the tournament because of a foot injury and has not played since.

Tiger is also a three-time U.S. Open champion but has yet to win at Pinehurst No 2. 

In 1999, he finished tied third, two strokes off winner Payne Stewart In 2005, meanwhile, Woods was second, two back of Michael Campbell. He didn't compete at Pinehurst in 2014. 

According to the United States Golf Association, more than 10,000 players have entered for this year's event - the third time it has reached five figures, according to SI.com. 

Local qualifying events will take place in 44 states and Canada between now and May 20 ahead of 'Golf's Longest Day', when the remaining hopefuls compete over 36 holes to earn a place at the season’s third major championship.
