Charlie Woods makes verbal commitment to play at Florida State

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The son of Tiger Woods is staying in state to pursue college golf. Charlie Woods made a verbal commitment Tuesday to play for Florida State.

Woods, a junior at The Benjamin School in North Palm Beach, is No. 21 in the American Junior Golf Association ranking.

His lone AJGA victory came at the Team TaylorMade Invitational last May, and he tied for ninth in the Junior PGA Championship last summer to boost his ranking and draw interest from top college golf programs.

Woods will join Miles Russell, the No. 1 player in junior golf who also committed to the Seminoles.

Tiger Woods also chose to stay in state when he left high school in Southern California, playing two years at Stanford. His daughter, Sam, currently attends Stanford.

Major champions who played at Florida State include Brooks Koepka, Paul Azinger and Jeff Sluman.

Benjamin Sesko struck a brilliant equalizer in stoppage time to rescue a 1-1 draw for Manchester United at West Ham in the Premier League on Tuesday.

Michael Carrick was moments away from his first loss as United coach as the clock ticked down at the London Stadium. But Sesko - who had been thrown on in an attempt to turn the game around after Tomas Soucek had given West Ham the lead - delivered with a spectacular flicked goal at the near post in the 96th minute.

The draw ended Carrick's four-game winning start, but kept United ahead of Chelsea in fourth place.

Chelsea blew a two-goal lead at home to draw 2-2 with Leeds as Liam Rosenior dropped points for the first time since taking over at Stamford Bridge.

Lukas Nmecha and Noah Okafor sealed the comeback for Leeds, which dealt a blow to Chelsea's hopes of Champions League qualification.

Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer from the penalty spot seemed to put Rosenior on course for a fifth-straight league win. But Chelsea was stunned by two goals in the space of six minutes from in-form Leeds and had to settle for a point.

Tottenham is being sucked into a relegation battle after a 2-1 home loss to Newcastle.

The pressure is building on coach Thomas Frank, whose team is still to win a league game in 2026.

Newcastle ended a three-game losing run in the league. Jacob Ramsey slid a winner into the bottom corner from close range in the 68 minute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Malick Thiaw put Newcastle ahead in first-half stoppage time.

Archie Gray gave Spurs hope in the 64th, but Ramsey sealed the points for the visitor shortly after.

Bournemouth scored twice in the space of three minutes to come back from a goal down to beat Everton 2-1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Iliman Ndiaye's penalty before the break gave the home team the lead, but Rayan leveled in the 61st and Amine Adli scored the winner three minutes later.
