Never seen a hole-in-one?

Tune in to this afternoon’s Masters Par 3 Contest. The 1,090-yard course has yielded 115 since the Wednesday tradition started in 1960, an average of nearly two per year. With the longest hole at 155 yards and pins often set where the ball funnels toward the hole, players take dead aim with a shocking rate of success. A record nine aces were recorded in 2016 and there were three last year. Just don’t expect the players to buy you drinks.
