Trending: Memorable Masters par 3 moments
The Masters Par 3 Contest is rich in both history and stigma. The annual contest is always a fan favorite, and some players are even said to enjoy the event, which brings them together with family for a day reserved for fun on a course known for its stoic posture. Conversely, it is also the "Madden cover" of golf; no golfer has won the Par 3 and gone on to win the Masters. Still, it's hard to envision any professional taking a pitch-and-putt contest too seriously. So in the name of fun, let's take a look back at some of the most memorable moments on Augusta's par 3's, including the practice rounds where players attempt to skip the ball across the pond on 16.
I'll start by taking the liberty of posting an ace that occurred just this past Monday.
