Supposedly, there are some features of the sport that Charlie has picked up on sooner than others. “For some reason, Charlie just always wants to beat me, it doesn’t matter what it is,” Major champion Justin Tomas, informed USA Today. “Although he’s by no means overwhelmed me in golf or a placing contest, he nonetheless talks trash similar to his dad. We’ll have that, like, interior match inside a match, attempt to shut his little mouth up, however it will likely be enjoyable.
