It is just the third time since the inaugural edition in 1960 that duel winners have been crowned as a result of bad weather. "It's fun, this is a very special day for me," Hughes said. To have a family day like this before one of the biggest tournaments of the year is pretty cool.
Louis Oosthuizen appears to have the measure of the greens at Augusta National as he rolled in an absolute bomb during the par-3 contest at The Masters.
But Watson hit a huge banana hook out of the branches and he went on to win the championship. Oosthuizen, the Open champion of 2010, is simply an expert with his short stick. He knew it was going in.

He joked with Michael Collins that he’d teach his son the proper putting motion by putting him to work sweeping around the house. His son, on the other hand, was all over the place while nearly grabbing another player’s rolling putt off the green. Jon Rahm was interviewed with his son Kepa, joking that Kepa was the reason he almost missed the tournament last year.

This is a very special day for me,” Hughes said.
