For anyone who downplays the significance of the Masters Par 3 Contest, Wednesday's action at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, provided the galleries with plenty to cheer about.
It wound up being an unprecedented showcase of aces in the 2016 edition of the lighthearted exhibition and a record score for the winner. Ones were running wild, as the contest participants racked up a record nine holes-in-one, shattering the prior record of five from 2002 and last year.
