The laid-back magic of Masters Wednesday was in full swing at Augusta National's Par-3 Contest, where family fun and friendly competition reign supreme. This year, Justin Thomas provided the first electric moment of the afternoon, jarring a hole-in-one on the second hole of his round.

The celebration that followed was pure gold. Thomas immediately turned to his playing partners, Max Homa and Jordan Spieth, flashing the "Money Manziel" finger-rub gesture. The reason? A friendly $1,000 side bet on who would card the first ace of their group. "I probably enjoyed that shot a lot more than Max and Jordan did," Thomas quipped afterward.

The scene got even better as Thomas's young daughter, Molly, stepped into the role of dutiful caddie, retrieving his wedge. It was a perfect blend of high-stakes bragging rights and heartwarming family atmosphere that defines the Par-3 Contest. For Thomas, it was a lucrative start to the week, proving that even in a relaxed setting, a little competition—and a perfectly struck wedge—can pay off.
