Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler made back-to-back aces at the Masters Par 3
Jordan Spieth and his best bud Justin Thomas were paired with Rickie Fowler for the Masters Par 3 Contest on Wednesday in what was a group of young guys ready to take over the game.
They certainly got the bulk of attention (besides the adorable kids) during the round, mainly because of their back-to-back holes-in-one on the fourth hole.
The first came from Thomas.

And then Fowler followed up with an ace of his own.

Sadly, Spieth, the No. 2 player in the world, lost the hole with a birdie. A birdie! After the round, he joked with Tom Rinaldi of ESPN about the amount of pressure he felt to make the third ace in the group.
"I said it might've been the hardest shot I've ever had to hit, trying to follow them," Spieth said with a big smile on his face. "To see Justin make it in his first time here and then Rickie follow up. That's gotta be the first time at Augusta National at the Par 3 Contest."
