GOLF: Rory McIlroy’s four-year-old daughter showed her father how it was done by delighting the Augusta crowd with a monster putt on the eve of the 89th Masters.

The Northern Irishman, who needs to win the Masters to complete the career grand slam, helped Poppy sink a long birdie putt on the final hole.

“Yeah, very cool,” McIlroy said when asked about that moment.

“It’s just such a fun afternoon. Being out there with Shane (Lowry) and Tommy (Fleetwood) and their families, we're all very, very close, so to have the kids out there and them having fun is the most important thing. It’s a really nice way to sort of end the preparation going into what is the serious part of the week. So it's nice to be able to get out here and do this.”

Colombia's Nico Echavarria faces an extra hurdle to overcome in his bid to claim a first major title after winning the par-three contest.
