Rickie Fowler is back to Masters after a three-year absence, and have already lifted the trophy. The question now is whether he will reach for the opportunity to wear the green jacket on Sunday. Fowler won the traditional Pairs Contest 3 at Augusta National this Wednesday with 5 under par.
This result earned him a two-stroke victory over Sepp Straka, JT Poston and Santiago de la Fuente, and saw Fowler receive the glittering crystal bowl awarded to the winner.
However, no one has won the Par 3 Contest and the Green Jacket in the same year, leading some to believe in a curse. “It’s a place you don’t want to miss,” said Fowler, who spent most of three years chasing his A-game before winning last year’s Rocket Mortgage Classic in a playoff with Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin .
“Sitting on the couch, it’s one of the few events you can watch as a novice and professional golfer, but it’s even better when you’re a part of it.” However, the seriousness of the Masters begins this Thursday. Wednesday’s Par 3 Contest was all about family fun
