Masters Par 3: Keegan Bradley is first player with ace 2 years in a row

•Yahoo Sports

No player had ever made an ace in back-to-back years at the Masters Par 3 Contest until Keegan Bradley became the first on Wednesday.

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.

com/IF8OrnqZdA — The Masters (@TheMasters) April 8, 2026 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. Keegan Bradley with the first hole-in-one of the day! šŸŽÆ What an awesome moment with his family ā¤ļø #themasters pic.
