Masters Pros Reveal Favorite Par 3 Holes

The Masters Par 3 Contest, a cherished tradition dating back to 1960, serves as a prelude to golf's opening major championship. This relaxed event is known for its family-friendly atmosphere, offering a break from the intense pressure of competing for the Green Jacket. Professional golfers participated in a survey, revealing their favorite holes on the distinctive short course.

Several professionals highlighted holes where they have achieved the ultimate feat: a hole-in-one. Sahith Theegala favored No. 4 for its challenging ridge, while Rickie Fowler reminisced about No. 4, the site of his ace. Gary Woodland and Gary Player also pointed to No. 6, with Woodland having made an ace there. Larry Mize enjoyed No. 7, noting its design and a past closest-to-pin win. Jason Day expressed a fondness for No. 9, appreciating its amphitheater setting and the vibrant crowd.

Trevor Immelman and Zach Johnson both selected No. 5 and No. 7 respectively, as the holes where they recorded their aces. Immelman found joy in sharing the moment with his children, while Johnson's ace on No. 7 held profound personal meaning. Adam Scott opted for No. 8, describing it as a tricky yet appealing hole. The contest's unique charm allows players to involve friends and family, adding to its appeal before the serious business of the Masters begins.
