AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - Kevin Streelman beat Camilo Villegas on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff Wednesday to win the Par 3 tournament on the last day to relax at Augusta National.
Streelman and Villegas finished the nine holes tied at 5 under. They each opened with a par then a birdie before Streelman topped Villegas, who had not one, but two holes-in-one through his first eight holes.
Americans Ben Martin and Cameron Tringale tied last year's Par 3 champ Ryan Moore at 4 under.
Streelman, who played at Duke, tied for 42nd last year in his best finish in three appearances at the Masters.
Winning the Par 3 contest has been considered a bad omen since no one has won both that title and the Masters in the same week.
"Done all I can do," Streelman said. "Now I've just got to go out and have fun and play."
Villegas got his first ace on No. 4 along with Jack Nicklaus and Matias Dominguez of Chile. The Colombian followed that with his second hole-in-one of the day on the 120-yard No. 8, taking him to 5-under 22 and tying Streelman.
Tiger Woods had company playing the Par 3 for the first time since 2004. His 6-year-old son, Charlie, and 7-year-old daughter, Sam, caddied for him with girlfriend, Olympic skiing champion Lindsey Vonn, joining them. "I'll always have memories of my pop at Augusta and now Sam & Charlie," Woods wrote on Twitter. "An amazing day."
Nicklaus, the six-time Masters champ, looked like he just might win his first Par 3 title at the age of 75 after a hole-in-one on No. 4.
His iron shot bounced twice before taking a little hop spinning back into the hole.
