Rickie Fowler wins par-3 contest amid hole-in-one blitz at Augusta
Rickie Fowler has an extra hurdle to overcome in his bid to win a first major title after winning the par-three contest on the eve of the Masters. Fowler completed the nine-hole course in the grounds of Augusta National in five under par to finish two shots clear of Austria's Sepp Straka, American JT Poston and Mexican amateur Santiago de la Fuente. Since the pre-tournament contest started in 1960, nobody has ever become par-three and Masters champion in the same week, a fact which often sees players deliberately not shoot the best score possible. Straka's total included a hole-in-one on the fifth, with Ryder Cup team-mate Viktor Hovland, Gary Woodland and Luke List all recording an ace on the sixth and Lucas Glover holing his tee shot on the seventh.
