Golf is a game of superstitions. People mark their balls the same way every time (tails up for me), prepare the same, and, if things are going well, even eat the same meal all week. If golf had a Taj Mahal of superstitions, it would be winning the Par-3 Tournament at the Masters, a nine-hole event played every year since 1960 on the Wednesday before tournament day. No player has won the Par-3 Tournament and gone on to win the Masters. Nobody. Ever.
Andy North admitted during today's ESPN telecast that he once birdied the first five holes at the Par-3 Tournament only to hit three balls in the water on the 6th hole to make sure he couldn't recover.
Add Tim Clark's name to the list of guys hoping to break the tradition. He won the event on Wednesday by shooting 5-under, and that included a hole-in-one on the 9th, making him the 68th person to make a single in the Par-3 Tournament.
Clark wasn't the only one to card an ace.
Greg Norman made an uno on the 6th with wife Chris Evert on the bag, and John Merrick spun one back on the 70-yard 2nd hole.
Jack Nicklaus, who has six green jackets to his name, was trying to make history at Augusta yet again.
The Golden Bear, owner of six green jackets, was trying to become the oldest player to win the Par-3 Tournament at 69 years old (Sam Snead won it at 61 in 1974), but he fell just short on the last two holes.
The highlight of the contest came from Gary Player, who has announced this will be his last Masters Tournament. Playing with Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, Player dunked his first tee shot on the 9th in the water. He teed it back up, hit a solid short iron on the green and spun it back in the hole for a crowd-pleasing par.
