It was a case of 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree' during the final round of the PNC Championship on Sunday, with Padraig Harrington's son Paddy and Tiger Woods' son Charlie both recording a hole-in-one.

Woods and his son but missed out on the title in a play-off however.

Bernhard Langer holed an eagle putt on the first extra hole to successfully defend the title with his son Jason after the two teams had finished tied on 28 under par.

Woods' ace came on the fourth hole at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando and briefly took Team Woods into the lead on 17 under par.

"It was awesome, I didn’t think it went in," Charlie told the Golf Channel after holing out with a seven iron from 175 yards.

Around 30 minutes later, Paddy Harrington also made a hole-in-one on the eighth hole to vault the pair into a share of the lead.

Woods and his son had ended day one of the team scramble in a three-way tie for first place after carding an opening round of 59, 13 under par.

The tournament, which features 20 major champions each playing with a member of their family, is the 15-time major winner’s first competitive event since undergoing surgery on his back in September.
