<p>
 The Masters stands as one of golf's premier events, steeped in deep-rooted history and customs. A particularly cherished custom during this competition is the yearly Par 3 contest, held on the Wednesday preceding the start of the main rounds.
</p>
<p>
 The Par 3 competition stands out since it involves spouses, children, grandchildren, and entire families joining in the festivities. While some act as caddies, others just soak up the enjoyment as young attendees. This casual, familial event takes place one last time before the intensity of the main tournament kicks off on Thursday morning.
</p>
<p>
 The course encompasses areas around DeSoto Springs Pond and Ike's Pond at Augusta National. After completing nine holes, the player with the lowest score emerges as the victor, often featuring multiple hole-ins-one and impressive plays along the way. In last year’s competition, Rickie Fowler claimed victory with a score of 22.
</p>
<p>
 The champion this year turned out to be Nicolas Echavarria, securing his victory through an exciting playoff round where he beat J.J. Spaun at the second hole. The day was joyful, surrounded by loved ones, impressive putting displays, and charming children and grandchildren.
