Frankie Fleetwood's quest to drive No. 9 green at Masters: How he did

[ASFN Admin]

Frankie Fleetwood is back at The Masters Par 3 Contest trying hard again.

The 8-year-old son of Tommy Fleetwood gave a famous interview in 2024 after attempting to reach the green on No. 9 during this event, saying, "I'm just trying my hardest" when his ball splashed in the water.

And this week, the golf world is watching to see whether he can reach.

"Not so confident, but honestly on the range this afternoon, I felt good," Frankie Fleetwood said before his father's first tee shot on Wednesday. "I feel like I have a chance, but I'm still trying."

He's still trying, though, and bringing smiles to faces across the golf world.
