In the long history of the Masters Par 3 Contest, only four players have made two aces in the same year. But no player had ever made an ace in back-to-back years — until Wednesday.
Keegan Bradley sank his tee shot on the eighth hole of the par-3 course at Augusta National, becoming the first player to ever make an ace in consecutive years at the annual event, according to the ESPN broadcast.
From 110 yards, his ball sailed through the beautiful Georgia blue sky, landed a few feet past the hole, bounced twice, spun back, and dropped in. A joyous celebration ensued.
It's deja vu for the Bradley family, who enjoyed a similar celebration in 2025 when Keegan made a hole-in-one at the sixth. He doesn't have the mustache anymore, though.
It's a heck of a start to the week for Bradley, who will begin the Masters Tournament on Thursday in search of his first green jacket.
The 39-year-old father of two won the 2011 PGA Championship and has placed in the top-15 in every major except the Masters, where his best finish is T-22. He'll look to turn that around this year, but even if he doesn't, he's already banked another incredible memory with his family at Augusta.
