Sandy Lyle really likes the Masters Par 3 course but Matt Wallace ruined his afternoon.
The 61-year-old was on his way to winning the Par 3 Contest for the third time, finishing at 5 under, but Wallace tied him late in his round and eventually beat him on a playoff hole.
Lyle is one of just six men to win the tournament multiple times.
Sam Snead, Tom Watson, Jay Haas, David Toms and Isao Aoki are the only others to win the tournament more than once.
This is Wallace's first win and he used a hole in one to help him do it.
Oh Matt Wallace 👌🏼‼️ pic.twitter.com/zJulN22uHN

But it was Tony Finau who probably had the funniest moment on the course.
One year after dislocating his ankle after a hole in one during the event, Finau made sure to keep his lower extremities safe this season.
He played the same hole this time around with a football cleat on. He did not dislocate his ankle, so maybe he'll make that a habit.
