England's Aaron Rai birdied the last two holes to win Wednesday's Masters Par-3 Contest and risk the event's curse for the year's first Major tournament.
No Par-3 Contest winner has ever captured the green jacket in the same year.
"I'm not sure if it's a good omen or not, but just really nice to play well, enjoy it and share the experience with my family," Rai said.
The 31-year-old from Wolverhampton grabbed the solo lead on five-under with his birdie at the eighth hole.
