Ireland&#8217;s Shane Lowry recorded an ace on the second and Mark O&#8217;Meara made one on the fifth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tony Finau made light of the sickening injury he suffered when celebrating his ace on the seventh last year, the American switching into a high-top shoe offering more ankle protection before hitting his tee shot this time around. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now has extra challenge in bid for debut success<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128852,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[268,322,649,89,314,84,495],"class_list":["post-227645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-masters-news","tag-augusta-national","tag-green-jacket","tag-matt-wallace","tag-news","tag-par-3-contest","tag-pga-tour","tag-the-masters"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.8 (Yoast SEO v23.8) -
