Tiger Woods was in Bloomfield Township, Mich., on Monday searching for better vibes after missing the cut at The Open Championship in Scotland last week.

Woods was on hand at Oakland Hills Country Club to watch his 15-year-old son Charlie participate in the U.S. Junior Amateur for the first time.

While the 15-time major winner has been highly supportive of his son's budding golf career, he was not serving as caddie this week. A USGA rule prohibits parents or guardians from serving in that role during the event, including qualifying.

Playing the Oakland Hills North Course on Monday, Charlie Woods struggled to a 12-over par 82. He is scheduled to play the South Course on Tuesday.

Tyler Watts of Huntsville, Ala., had the early first-round lead with a 5-under 65.
