チャーリー・ウッズ、プレッシャーが高まる🏌️ 州決勝敗退後、チームはリベンジを目指す
The Benjamin school boys entered last year’s state championship chasing a fifth title, only to be stunned by an underdog in a loss that still stings. “To this day, I don’t know what happened,” said head coach Toby Harbeck, now preparing for a return to mission in Resort Plus Club. With redemption on the line, no one carries more pressure than rising junior Charlie Woods. When the Benjamin Buccaneers arrived at last year’s class 1 state championship, part of the Florida High School Athletic Association, they carried the weight of being defending champions. Many expected them to secure a fifth title with ease. Instead, the Oxbridge Academy Thunderwolves stunned the field, capturing their first ever state crown with a sevenshot victory over the Buccaneers. Despite having outperformed Oxbridge at both the district and regional levels, Benjamin faltered when the stakes were highest. Maybe we were overconfident. We just had one bad round at the worst time possible, reflected longtime coach Toby Harbeck, who has guided the program to four state titles in more than four decades. The defeat marked a turning point, especially for rising junior Charlie Woods. While his last name alone draws widespread attention, the spotlight now intensifies as he takes on the challenge of replacing senior leader Pavlzar, who has moved on to Notre Dame. Losing Pavle is a significant loss. But I’ve got those three juniors who have played on the team and have quite a lot of experience. My first three guys are going to be really good, Harbbeck explained, noting he will rely on Woods along with juniors Andrew Zar, Pavville’s brother, and Brooks Colton to anchor the lineup. With the 2025 state championship scheduled for November 14th to 15th, the pressure is squarely on Woods to lead the Buccaneers back to the top and reclaim the title. Harbeck is confident in Charlie Woods, especially after his first AJ win at the Team Tailor-Made Invitational in May. He was even in contention at the 2025 PGA Junior Championship earlier this month, but faltered in the final round and finished tied ninth. But the performances have been remarkable given the weight of his father’s legacy, which he constantly has to carry. Charlie knows a lot of the attention is going to be on him and he knows not to put himself in an uncomfortable position, but his teammates are protective of him. Harbeck said when he wasn’t surprised that most of the questions were about Charlie when he went to South Dakota this year to receive a National Golf Coach of the Year award. But despite that, Charlie Woods has shown growth and maturity both on and off the course. Charlie has come a long way in two years. He’s lost 10 pounds and is ready to take on that number one role,” he continued. With Woods stepping into the spotlight alongside rising juniors Andrew Zar and Brooks Coloulton, Benjamin’s hopes rest on a young but well-prepared team. Charlie Woods leads the way.
