AUGUSTA, Ga. — Rickie Fowler won the traditional Par 3 Contest at Augusta National on Wednesday. Fowler is back at the Masters after a three-year absence. He toured the picturesque par-3 course in 5-under par. That was good enough for a two-stroke win over Sepp Straka, J.T. Poston and Santiago de la Fuente. Nobody has ever won the Par 3 Contest and gone on to win the Masters in the same year. There also were five aces on a warm, sunny afternoon. Luke List, Straka, Viktor Hovland, Gary Woodland and Lucas Glover all had holes-in-one.
