Chris Perry wins Par 3 competition
Chris Perry defeated Jay
Haas, Jerry Pate and Hunter Haas on the first playoff hole Wednesday to win the
41st Par 3 tournament at Augusta National.
Perry rolled in a birdie
putt for the victory after the four golfers finished at 4-under 23 in the nine-hole
event, played on the eve of the Masters' opening round.
Notah Begay III had the
only hole-in-one of the day, sinking his shot at No. 9. There have been 41 holes-in-one
since the Par 3 tournament began in 1960 on a picturesque course adjacent to
the 18-hole layout.
