Like father, like son. Interestingly enough, Charlie Woods is not the only heir of a sports world legacy on-course at the Lost Lake Golf Club. In the absence of his father, his friend and long-time bagman, Joseph LaCava Jr., has taken charge of his bag once again.

Joseph LaCava seems to be carrying forward his father’s history of working with the Woods rather amicably. Even though replacing Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods’s school friend, Luke Wise, seems like a tumultuous task, LaCava Jr. seems to be prepared.

Is Joseph LaCava Jr. the right fit for Charlie Woods at the Cognizant Class Pre-Qualifier?

The short (and obvious) answer to this is yes. The duo shares a history of working together through three years of PNC championships. Thankfully for them, this experience of having a relationship that is almost generational by now is bound to come in handy.

Tracing back to their fathers’ alliance of over a decade, this duo has a lot of expectations set out for them. Interestingly enough, standing true to his father’s legacy of being a veteran caddy, LaCava Jr. has already registered to caddy for a winner on his record.

Yes, he caddied for none other than Steve Stricker, who registered a win at the Regions Tradition tournament on the PGA Tour Champions. An achievement termed “first of many” only seems to be the star caddy’s first step to PGA Tour glory, like his great father.

Coupled with Charlie Woods, this duo is bound to make magic happen. With Junior Woods already performing well, chances are that the duo might even get their way at the pre-qualifying event and add another historical win to both their accounts.

But is Joseph LaCava Jr. all Junior Woods has in these testing times?

Spotted walking alongside her son’s group, Mother Nordegren seems to be all prepared to support her son in all his endeavors. This will hopefully lead him up to the field of Cognizant Classic.

Only time will tell if the efforts of Charlie Woods and Joseph LaCava Jr. coupled with the support of his mother, will be fruitful or not.
