Justin Thomas kicked off the Masters Par 3 Contest in style today, landing a hole-in-one on at No. 2. The shot thrilled fans and set the tone for the extraordinary annual event, which always brings a mix of serious episodes and playful moments.
The Par 3 Contest is a fan-favorite tradition at Augusta, allowing top players to showcase their skills in a more relaxed setting with their families before the main tournament begins. Hole-in-ones are always a highlight, but Thomas’ early success put him immediately in the spotlight as a possible dark horse.
Fans will now be watching closely to see how he carries this momentum into the 2026 Masters Tournament, with hopes that the ace is a sign of more memorable shots to come and maybe a green jacket. It won’t be easy facing names like Scottie Scheffler or Rory McIlroy.
