National's Par 3 Contest
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) --- Comedian Kevin Hart captured the mood of the Par 3
Contest at Augusta National when he showed up as Bryson DeChambeau's caddie ---
and sounded ready to take over the rest of the operation if need be.
"We'll see how the day goes. I think it depends on how he's putting," Hart
said. "Naturally if he's not doing what I ask or require, then I step in and I
do the job myself."
While Hart was on the bag for DeChambeau on Wednesday, ex-NFL lineman Jason
Kelce was guiding Akshay Bhatia around the short course in this low-key event
the day before the start of the Masters. Other players had family members
alongside them, including young children.
"This is about having fun and showing what this great game can do for the world
of golf," DeChambeau said while mic'd up on the broadcast. "I'm super excited
to have Kevin out here. He's only been playing for about seven months, so to
get him out here and experiencing what Augusta National has to offer and the
Masters has to offer, it's pretty special for the Par 3 Contest."
At first, Kelce's main contribution seemed to be cleaning Bhatia's clubs as
they walked toward one hole. But eventually he started lying on his stomach in
a dramatic attempt to help read a putt.
"Just give it a little tush push and it'll be on, I promise you," Kelce said.
