Bubba Watson's daughter makes monstrous putt during Masters Par 3 Tournament in Augusta

Step aside, Bubba. You've got some competition.

Pensacola-area native Bubba Watson, who is competing at the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, this week, might have some family competition on the greens soon. At the Par 3 Contest on Wednesday, Watson's daughter, Dakota, 9, showed off her golfing genes while caddying for her dad.

Dakota made three incredible putts, including one monstrous putt.

Maybe Watson needs his daughter on the bag this weekend for some reads?

Watson will start his Masters tournament Thursday with a 12:36 p.m. tee time (11:36 a.m. CST), and is paired up with Denmark's Nicolai Hojgaard and Adam Schenk.

One of just a few left-handed golfers on tour, Watson is making his 16th Masters appearance. He's won the tournament twice, in 2012 and 2014. He's one of 17 golfers with multiple Masters wins.

Watson, who was on the Milton High golf team after growing up in Bagdad, is currently on the LIV Tour. In 2022, he was a non-playing captain while he recovered from a torn meniscus. He is on the RangeGoats team on LIV, and plays Matthew Wolff, Peter Uihlein and Thomas Pieters.
