Charlie Woods did not qualify to move on to the match play rounds at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship in Dallas.

The 16-year-old son of Tiger Woods shot rounds of 81 and 74 for a 14-over 155 during stroke play Monday and Tuesday. Match play began Wednesday morning.

The tournament began with 264 players taking part in stroke play at Trinity Forest Golf Club and Brook Hollow Golf Club. The field was narrowed to the top 64 for match play.

One of those advancing was Cameron Kuchar, the son of PGA Tour pro Matt Kuchar. He finished the two-day stroke play at 3-over par 144, which was the cut line.

Kuchar is a rising high school senior in Florida who has committed to play at TCU. He was competing against Kailer Stone of Alameda, Calif., in match play on Wednesday. Stone, 17, finished stroke play T13 at 1-under.

The younger Woods is a rising high school junior.

His first round at Brook Hollow was marred by four double bogeys and five bogeys with just two birdies to offset them. In his second round at Trinity Forest, he played the front nine at even par with three birdies and bogeys but lost three strokes on the back nine with two double bogeys and three bogeys with two birdies.

Tiger Woods was in Dallas to watch his son play.

Charlie Woods will have other chances to play in the U.S. Junior Amateur, seeking to join an impressive list of winners who went on to become majors champions. That list includes Johnny Miller (1964), David Duval (1989), Tiger Woods (1991-93), Brian Harman (2003), Jordan Spieth (2009, 2011) and Scottie Scheffler (2013).

Tiger Woods was 15 when he won his first Junior Amateur.

The younger Woods missed the cut last year at the tournament at Oakland Hills in Michigan.
