Par 3 contest

Wednesday, April 8, 2020

Defending Masters champion Tiger Woods in a practice round on Monday April 6, 2020

Patrick Cantlay won the par-3 contest with a 7-under par 20, one stroke off the record set by 2016 winner Jimmy Walker. Walker shot a 1-under 26, but was not competing for the title. Cantlay was 5-under heading into the 9th hole, which has seen plenty of drama over the years. It is well known for 2018, when Jack Nicklaus's grandson, G.T., hit an ace in exhibition with Nicklaus's partners Gary Player, and the eventual champion of the event, Tom Watson watching on. Cantlay fired an 8-iron into the back portion of the green and used the slope to reel the ball back in with an immense amount of spin. Gaining momentum and following the correct line, the ball fell into the hole, counting as a 2-under par eagle for the hole, giving Cantlay the sole lead over clubhouse leaders Ian Poulter and John Rahm. Adam Scott made a charge, birdieing the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th holes, bringing him to 6-under, one behind Cantlay's mark. He went on to 2-putt the 9th for a par to finish in a tie for second at -6 (21). 2019 winner, Matt Wallace, shot a 1-under 26, and finished in a tie for 18th. There were a total of 94 participants in the event, which set a Masters record. 28 players competed for the Crystal Bowl.

Round summaries

First round

Thursday, April 9, 2020

2016 champion Jordan Spieth shot a score of 68 (-4) to get into a share for the lead, the fourth time he's been either the leader or co-leader after the first round of the Masters in six years. Bernd Wiesberger, for the first time in his career, shot a round low enough to lead the Masters tournament. Later in the day, world number three Dustin Johnson made a charge from E, birdieing the 15th, 16th, and 18th holes to get into a share for third at -3. 2020 Players champion Christiaan Bezuidenhout shot an opening round 70 (-2) to tie for sixth place. The pack at -1 consisted of three major champions, and the world number one, three, and seven, being Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, and Patrick Cantlay, who won Wednesday's par-3 contest, respectively. Scoring conditions on Thursday were less than ideal, due to the gusty winds in the afternoon, leaving the morning players with the favorable draw. The scoring average for the the first round was 74.80 (+2.8). 15 players broke par, most of them coming from the morning groupings. Defending champion Tiger Woods shot a disappointing 75 (+3), good enough for a tie for 44th. 2004 Masters champion Phil Mickleson shot the same score.
