Tiger Woods exploded with emotion as his daughter Sam advanced to the Florida state soccer finals after a breathtaking semi-final match

Legendary golfer Tiger Woods rode the highs and lows of Benjamin’s dramatic rally in the Class 2A state semifinals just like every soccer parent in DeLand on Thursday evening.

In the end, Woods’ daughter, Sam, saw her high school soccer career extended with a 2-1 Benjamin victory over Lakeland Christian at Spec Martin Stadium.

Woods, a senior defender, led the Bucs’ back line,

which conceded a goal in the first half but shut out Lakeland Christian over the second half of regulation and two extra time periods before Sienna Barboni’s electric match-winner.

After the completion of Benjamin’s soccer season, Woods will move into the spring track and field season, where she competes in hurdles and middle distance events with Benjamin.
