2024 Masters Par 3 Contest leaderboard, results: Rickie Fowler wins, Viktor Hovland aces

Rickie Fowler wins Masters Par 3 Contest with 5-under 22. Can he break the curse and win the green jacket?

The 2024 Masters Par 3 Contest has concluded, with Rickie Fowler emerging as the victor after firing an impressive 5-under 22 on Augusta National's nine-hole par-3 course. Fowler's performance secured him the clubhouse lead early in the competition, with players like Sepp Straka and J.T. Poston coming close but ultimately falling short.

Despite his win, Fowler faces a challenging tradition dating back to 1960, where the Par 3 Contest winner has never gone on to win the coveted green jacket later in the same week. While many Masters champions have triumphed in both the Par 3 Contest and the tournament, no one has achieved this feat in the same year.

Fowler's round included five birdies and four pars, with the added excitement of playing alongside Jordan Spieth and Fred Couples, whose children added a playful element to the competition. The day also saw an impressive five holes-in-one, tying the second-highest number in the contest's history.

Reflecting on his ace, Luke List shared, "It was nice to see one go in. Nice to see my kids' reaction. I will say, my son making the putt on the last was more exciting for me than that ball going in." With the Par 3 Contest now in the books, attention turns to the 88th playing of the Masters, where a more significant champion will be crowned.
