One of the most fun aspects of the Masters Par-3 Contest is watching pros chase aces. Usually they play with a more conservative gameplan, trying to attack a certain part of the green to set up a good look at birdie. In the Par-3 Contest they just fire darts at the hole, trying for aces. While hole-in-ones are usually plentiful, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler took it to a new level.
Thomas was first on the tee at No. 4 and he used the slope of the green perfectly to kick in this ace.

Not to be outdone, Fowler stepped to the tee next and provided the encore.

Somehow Jordan Spieth, the third member of the group, wasn’t able to ace the hole. What a slacker that guy is.
