Masters Par 3 Tournament 2018: Tom Watson Becomes Oldest Winner in History

Tom Watson won the 2018 Masters Tournament Par 3 Contest with a six-under 21 during the showcase event Wednesday at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.

Watson, 68, previously won the Par 3 Contest in 1982 and becomes the oldest winner in the tournament's history. He's not in the field for the Masters, so the streak of no golfer winning the contest and the season's first major in the same week will continue.

The eight-time major champion played alongside fellow legends Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, and all three were in contention with their mostly younger counterparts throughout the afternoon.
