Bubba Watson drops miraculous hole-in-one during The Masters Par-3 Contest

Georgia alum Bubba Watson sunk an incredible hole-in-one during the The Masters Par-3 Contest on Wednesday.

Watson nailed it on the fourth hole of the exhibition from 67 yards away. It is the 103rd hole-in-one in the history of the event, which dates back to 1960.

He is mic’d up for the event so camera caught his genuine reaction.

“I’ve never had one here,” Watson said. “This is awesome.”

The Par-3 Contest is an exhibition held before the actual Masters where families and friends caddy for the golfers. They play on a nine-hole course

The event consists of Masters participants and noncompeting past champions. No Par-3 Contest winner has ever won the Masters in the same year.

Watson is a two-time Masters winner, claiming the Green Jacket in 2012 and 2014.

Bubba Watson will look to win his third Masters starting tomorrow

Only eight players have ever won the Masters three times. Bubba Watson is hoping to become the ninth.

Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion. He won with a score of 10-under-par.

“Just because it’s the Masters and it is what it is, and it’s such a special tournament that I think we build it up so much in our heads,” Scheffler said this week when asked about potentially going back-to-back. “When I show up this week, there’s just more going on. That’s really just all there is to it. As far as my preparation goes, I’ve kept things pretty similar to what they were last year, outside of getting here a few hours earlier on Sunday so I could play more golf. When the tournament starts on Thursday, everybody starts even par. Just because you’re defending doesn’t mean I get to start at 1-under. I’ll be approaching it just like I do a lot of other tournaments.
