At the Par 3 Contest before the Masters Tournament 2025, the focus was once again on fun. It’s all the more amazing when the mini stars also shine with sporting performances. Like Poppy McIlroy this year. Rory McIlory‘s four-year-old daughter holed a downhill putt from over 7.5 meters on hole 9 of the short course. She only had to tap the ball once with the putter she was holding in one hand.
The cheers were huge, not only from proud dad McIlroy and flight partner and hype man Shane Lowry, but also from the spectators around them.

However, the sudden excitement surrounding her unsettled the four-year-old a little and she had to be comforted by her dad and mom. A major tournament sure is exhausting!
