Scottie Scheffler slam dunks hole-in-one during Masters Par 3 contest
“I hit a sand wedge on eight. Probably landed 30 feet behind it and spun back and similar on nine; I slightly pulled it and it kicked to the right and spun back in so yeah, very lucky obviously.
“It’s obviously such a special tradition here on a Wednesday. Being able to share it with my brother out there, that was probably the best part. “I don’t know whether it carries into tomorrow, but it’s certainly a lifelong memory that I’ll treasure.”Meanwhile, Hoge added: “I made a few birdies early and then the hole-in-one on eight was cool to see go in.
“Just a fun day out here this afternoon with my wife caddying for me. Good start here to the week today, so try to keep that going.”Advertisement Since the event started in 1960, nobody has ever become Par 3 and Masters champion in the same week but the 33-year-old American will be eager to change that.will get up and running on Thursday as Scheffler defends his title against one of the best fields ever assembled at Augusta.18+ New customers only.
