Adorable kid dabs on Augusta’s 18th green after winning Drive, Chip, and Putt

Masters festivities are just beginning but Stephen Robert Hernandez, perhaps the swaggiest golfer to ever set foot on Augusta, has already won the week.

Stephen Robert Hernandez just won the Boys 7-9 division of the Drive, Chip, and Putt Championship at Augusta, but they might as well just give him the green jacket now, too.

This is the third year of the competition among boys and girls the Sunday before the Masters, and Hernandez just became its first legend. Most of the kids are understandably nervous and timid, playing golf at Augusta and on national TV for the first time. Hernandez, however, spent the whole morning acting like a Tour pro, pumping his first after a drive, suavely acknowledging the crowd after his chip and putt, and then doffing his cap like Arnold Palmer. The Golf Channel analysts even noted “most kids don’t wave to the crowd but he’s got it down.”

He backed it all up, too, winning his division and then delivering a wonderful interview and dab on the 18th green.
